          Appeal No. 1999-0877                                                        
          Application No. 08/204,441                                                  


          obvious ... to include subscriber information [in Ramussen]                 
          and include a way to display the phone number, in order to                  
          prevent fraudulent use by identifying each subscriber within                
          the network and in order to verify the telephone number that                
          the user is allocated, respectively [in view of such teachings              
          of Endo and Nokia]."                                                        
          Appellants argue, reply brief at page 3, that "when                         
          considering Rasmussen disclosure in its entirety, the type of               
          'other information' to which the concept taught by Rasmussen                
          may be applied, is only the information that is automatically               
          dialed when accessed.  In contrast, Applicant's (sic) claimed               
          invention                                                                   
          involves displaying a user's own telephone number.  It is only              
          common sense that the user will not try to dial his own                     
          telephone number from his own telephone set."  Appellents                   
          further argue, reply brief at page 5, that "[s]ince the PSI is              
          secret, the PID is not to be published, and cannot be                       
          considered as equivalent                                                    
          to the telephone number within the meaning of Applicant's                   
          invention."  Appellants further argue, reply brief at page 5,               


                                          6
