               Appeal No. 2007-0384                                                                   
               Application No. 09/681,784                                                             

                    We conclude that the Examiner has set forth a prima facie case that               
               claim 12 would have been obvious over Saba’s software in view of Tuttle,               
               which Appellant has not rebutted.  We therefore affirm the rejection of                
               claim 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Claims 11 and 14 fall with claim 12.                  
                                             SUMMARY                                                  
                    The Examiner’s position is supported by the preponderance of the                  
               evidence of record.  We therefore affirm the rejection of claims 1-20 under            
               35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                       
                    No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                
               this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
