`
`REMARKS
`
`Claims 1-36 were pending in the present application. Claims 1-7, 9-10, 14-19 have been
`
`amended. Claims 8, 11-13, and 20-36 have been cancelled. Claim 37 has been added.
`
`No new matter has been added by way of this amendment. Support for newly added
`
`claim 37 can be found in the specification, for example, at page 5 lines 20-26, page 19 lines 6-7,
`
`and page 35 lines 25-30. Reconsideration and reexamination are respectfully requested in view
`
`of the amendments and following remarks.
`
`Claim Rejections 35 USC § 102(8)
`
`The Examiner rejected claims 1-36 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,016,495 to McKeehan et a1. (“McKeehan”). The applicant respectfully disagrees.
`The applicant’s invention asgdefined in the amended claims provides an apparatus for
`
`transmitting, receiving, and manipulating information on a computer system, and includes an
`
`information element, a plurality of registers, and a gateway. Claim 1 requires a gateway that
`
`controls the interactions of the container, and a register that has a representation of time that
`governs the container’s interactions according to the utility ofthe container‘s information
`
`relative to external-to-the-apparatus time.
`
`In contrast, McKeehan describes an obj ect—otiented framework mechanism that provides
`
`an infrastructure for persistent storage. McKeehan does not describe or suggest, as required by
`
`amended claim 1, “a second register for controlling the relationship of the container with other
`
`containers, systems or processes, the second register having a representation designating time
`
`and governing interactions of the container with other containers, systems or processes according
`
`to utility of information in the information element relative to an external-to-the-apparatus event
`
`time”.
`
`Rather, McKeehan describes a “Locklvlanager class ... responsible for providing
`
`concurrency control of objects stored in persistent containers” (Column 19, lines 25-27).
`
`Applicant respectfully submits that McKeehan’s LockManager class does not “govern[]
`
`interactions ... according to utility of information
`
`relative to an extemal-to-the-apparatus
`
`(cid:51)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:60)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:83)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:3)(cid:40)(cid:91)(cid:75)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:19)(cid:27)(cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:3)(cid:51)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:24)(cid:23)

`
`event time”, as required by claim 1, because the Locklvlanager class controls simultaneous
`
`access to an object by multiple objects without regard to the utility of such access relative to “an
`
`external-to-the-apparatus event time.”
`
`App1icant’s new claim 37 requires a gateway that controls the interactions of the
`
`container, and a register that has a representation of space that governs the container’s
`
`interactions according to the utility of the container’s information relative to extemal-to-the-
`
`apparatus space. MeKeehan does not describe or suggest, as required by claim 37, “a second
`
`register for controlling the relationship of the container with other containers, systems and
`
`processes, the second registerlhaving a representation designating space and governing
`interactions of the container with other containers,'syster_ns or processes according to utility of
`
`information in the information element relative to an external-to-the-apparatus three-dimensional
`
`space”.
`
`_
`
`As noted by the Eicarriiner with respect to previously asserted claim 1 1, McKeehan
`
`describes a “[c]omputer system 800 [that] utilizes well known virtual addressing mechanisms
`
`that allow the programs of computer system 800 to behave as if they only have access to a large,
`
`single storage entity (referred to herein as computer system memory) instead of access to
`
`multiple, smaller storage entities such as main memory .. .” (Column 15, line 66 to column 16,
`line 5). Applicant respectfully submits that McKeehan’s virtual addressing mechanism is limited
`
`to the memory of the computer system, and as such, does not suggest “governing interactions
`
`according to utility of information . . . relative to an external-to-the-apparatus three-dimensional
`
`space”.
`
`Accordingly, the applicant respectfully submits that claim 1, as amended, and new claim
`
`37 are allowable. Claims 2-7, 9-10, and 14-19 depend from claim I or 37, and are allowable for
`at least the reasons discussed for claims 1 or 37. Allowance of claims 1-7, 9-10, 131-19 and 37 is
`
`thereby respectfully requested.
