               Appeal Number: 2006-3365                                                                                             
               Application Number: 10/329,921                                                                                       

                       (Paragraph 221).                                                                                             
                    Clearly Raveis, Jr. teaches creating additional contract files automatically by                                 
               operation of the system.  Therefore, we find that both Raveis, Jr. and Broerman                                      
               suggest the limitation of adding files automatically for contract addenda or                                         
               disclaimers, and find appellants’ argument to be unpersuasive.                                                       
                    Accordingly we sustain the examiner's rejection of claims 11 and 12 under                                       
               35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Broerman, Raveis, Jr. and the Virginia                                            
               Regional Sales Contract.                                                                                             
                                                        CONCLUSION                                                                  
                    To summarize,                                                                                                   
                   • The rejection of claims 1 through 10 and 13 through 26 under 35 U.S.C.                                         
                       § 103(a) as obvious over Broerman and Raveis, Jr. is sustained.                                              
                   • The rejection of claims 11 and 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over                                     
                       Broerman, Raveis, Jr. and the Virginia Regional Sales Contract is sustained.                                 















                                                                10
