          Appeal No. 2000-1722                                                        
          Application No. 08/802,578                                                  


          together.  In particular, appellants group the claims and provide           
          arguments for each group in accordance with 37 C.F.R.                       
          § 1.192(c)(7) and (8) as follows: (1) claims 5 and 11 to 14,                
          (2) claims 6, 7, 15, 16, and 18, (3) claims 8 and 17, (4) claim             
          9, and (5) claim 10.                                                        
               We have carefully considered the claims, the applied prior             
          art references, and the respective positions articulated by                 
          appellants and the examiner.  As a consequence of our review, we            
          will reverse the obviousness rejection of claims 5 through 8 and            
          13 through 18 over Wang and of claims 9 and 10 over Champion.  We           
          reach the opposite conclusion for the obviousness rejection of              
          claims 5 through 8, 11, 12, and 14 through 17 over Champion.                
               Regarding Wang, appellants argue (Brief, page 6) that Wang             
          does not teach a method of compiling an informational database              
          nor a subscriber profile database that specifies the type of                
          information each subscriber wishes to receive based on message              
          content.  We agree.  Wang discloses a customer paging area memory           
          320 which stores information as to a customer's location                    
          registration and a message memory 310 for storing the message
