            Appeal 2006-3269                                                                                 
            Application 10/734,811                                                                           
            7).  As stated supra, the question whether a reference “teaches away” from the                   
            invention is inapplicable to an anticipation analysis.  Further, we do not rely on               
            Gal’s disclosure of separate emails for each invitation as the basis for our finding             
            of anticipation.  Rather, we affirm the Examiner’s finding of anticipation based on              
            Gal’s use of a dynamically-created web page to send invitations for multiple events              
            to a recipient.                                                                                  

                                        CONCLUSIONS OF LAW                                                   
                   We conclude that the Examiner did not err in rejecting claims 1-6, 8, 10-15,              
            17, and 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Gal.                                       

                                                DECISION                                                     
                   The decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-6, 8, 10-15, 17, and 18 is                
            affirmed.                                                                                        
                   No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                   
            appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).  See 37 C.F.R.                                
            § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2006).                                                                        
                                                AFFIRMED                                                     








                                                     8
