Appeal 2007-2449
Application 09/927,894
. . . , " as recited in claim 28. We agree that Wang, in the portions relied
upon by the Examiner and elsewhere, fails to disclose maintaining
connections in a persistent state. Accordingly, we will not sustain the
anticipation rejection of claim 28, nor of its dependents, claims 29 through
33 and 57.
Appellants (Br. 12-13) contend that for claim 34, Wang fails to
disclose dividing an I/O request into multiple constituent operations.
Appellants' argument is substantially the same as that provided for claim 5,
which we found persuasive, supra. Consequently, we will not sustain the
anticipation rejection of claim 34 and its dependents, claims 35 through 37,
58, and 59.
ORDER
