Appeal 2007-1951
Application 10/120,016
The Examiner’s rejections of dependent claims 2 through 3, 5 through
13, 15, 16, 22 through 25, 27, 28, 30, and 32 through 34 all rely upon Siddha
to teach modifying Hitz’s method to permit overwriting data. The Examiner
has not found, nor do we find, that the additional references cited in the
rejections of the dependent claims teach modifying Hitz’s method to permit
overwriting data. Accordingly, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejections
of claims 2 through 3, 5 through 13, 15, 16, 22 through 25, 27, 28, 30, and
32 through 34 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
CONCLUSION
We consider the Examiner’s rejections of claims 1 through 3, 5
through 16, 22 through 28, 30, and 32 through 34 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
to be in error, as we do not find that the combination of applied references
teaches or suggests the limitations in independent claims 1, 14 and 26 and
their dependents.
ORDER
For the foregoing reasons, we will not sustain the Examiner’s
rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of the Examiner is reversed.
