Application No. 08/204,441
card owner. As the applied prior art shows, the telephone
number of the user is presumed to be known to the user. In
Rasmussen it is the telephone number of the desired party
being called that is automatically dialed.
In Endo too, there is no provision where the display of the
telephone number of the user is shown, only access to a
telephone exchange is granted by the use of the smart card and
by punching of a secret code at keypad, see Fig. 5. In Nokia,
as soon as the telephone is turned on, its display will
automatically show the telephone number of the owner of that
telephone set. It is not responsive to the insertion of a
smart card and the request of the user. The telephone number
simply is coded to be in the name of the owner and that
owner's telephone number name is displayed when the telephone
is turned on.
Therefore, we agree with Appellants that the suggested
combination of Rasmussen, Endo and Nokia does not render
obvious the claimed invention.
