Appeal No. 2000-1722
Application No. 08/802,578
the subscriber profile is generated from the request, and then
information matching that profile is periodically, automatically
sent. There must be an identification of the profile of the
pager requesting information and matching of information from the
database to that of the subscriber profile to determine what
information is to be sent to the pager. Therefore, we will
sustain the rejection of claims 8 and 17 over Champion.
Claim 9 recites the step of having subscribers contact the
service provider for supplying information for the musical event
database. Claim 10 adds the step of rewarding the subscriber who
calls in information. Appellants argue (Brief, page 10) that
neither of these steps is taught or suggested by Champion. We
agree. Champion discusses (column 7, lines 22-27) that the
information is to come from local government sources, police,
rescue and fire transmission as well as from commercially
available sources including radio and television broadcasts and
commuter information services. Nowhere does Champion suggest
that the subscribers should call in information. Therefore, we
cannot sustain the rejection of claims 9 and 10.
