                Appeal 2007-1117                                                                             
                Application 09/825,495                                                                       
                user’s service request, and intelligently routing the service request to the                 
                selected application service provider server to perform the request.  Nothing                
                in the claims on appeal requires that the criteria used by Duursma for                       
                making the intelligent selection must be the same criteria set forth in the                  
                specification disclosed by Appellant.                                                        
                      With respect to the claimed register, the application database 48 in                   
                Duursma performs the claimed function.  The parameters set forth in the                      
                specification are not in the claims on appeal, and we will not import them                   
                into the claims (Reply Br. 5).                                                               
                                         CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                   
                      Anticipation has been established by the Examiner because Duursma                      
                intelligently selects and routes a user’s request to an application service                  
                provider server, and Duursma describes a database that operates like the                     
                claimed register.                                                                            
                                                DECISION                                                     
                      The anticipation rejection of claims 1 to 25 is affirmed.                              
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                     
                this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
