              Appeal No. 2006-1346                                                                 Παγε 5                                       
              Application No. 09/845,542                                                                                                        


              and effect relationship between the detection step and the showing step (see reply brief                                          
              at page 11).  However, in our view, there is no relationship between the content of what                                          
              is displayed and the display itself.  As such, the contents of the display alone will not                                         
              render the claim patentable.                                                                                                      
                     In any case, Sherr discloses that upon the detection of a right click, an order                                            
              page is displayed [0071].  The order page is depicted in Fig. 10 clearly displays that the                                        
              Jerry Maguire movie is being ordered.  This order page, in our view, is a shopping                                                
              summary as broadly claimed.  We further note that Sherr discloses that a user may                                                 
              build a list of orders prior to checkout which would have suggested to a person or                                                
              ordinary skill in the art that the order page may include a summary of a plurality of items                                       
              being purchased.                                                                                                                  
                     In view of the foregoing, we will sustain this rejection as it is directed to claim 1.                                     
                     We will also sustain the examiner's rejection of claim 4 because the appellants                                            
              have made similar arguments in regard to the patentability of claim 4 as the arguments                                            
              to claim 1.                                                                                                                       
                     In regard to claim 2, the appellants argue that the cited prior art does not disclose                                      
              or suggest that the act of showing a shopping summary comprises accessing a second                                                
              web page.                                                                                                                         
                     We do not agree because the order page depicted in Figure 10 is another web                                                
              page.  Therefore, we will sustain the examiner's rejection of claim 2.  We will also
