Appeal No. 2005-1540
Application No. 09/887,626
the invention in Glorioso because it could not monitor supply and
demand in real-time and adjust the prices and further send these
prices to users in real-time." Appellants continue (Reply Brief,
pages 3-4) that there is no motivation to combine Hunter with
Glorioso and Von Kohorn, as the combination would render Glorioso
unsatisfactory for its intended purpose.
We agree with appellants that there is no motivation to
combine Hunter with Glorioso and Von Kohorn. Glorioso discloses
automatic verification of whether the requested action has taken
place. We find no suggestion in any of the references as to why
a skilled artisan would change the automatic verification to
manual verification by the user or to add such a manual
verification to the automatic verification disclosed by Glorioso.
Accordingly, we cannot sustain the obviousness rejection of claim
1 nor of the claims grouped therewith, claims 2 through 26.
