          Appeal No. 95-3919                                                          
          Application No. 07/907,934                                                  


               The obviousness rejection of claims 183 through 185 is                 
          reversed because terminal 11 in Katznelson does not transmit                
          requests “at periodic intervals” to terminal 10.                            
               The obviousness rejection of claims 186 and 187 is                     
          reversed because terminal 11 in Katznelson does not generate                
          requests “at regular time intervals,” and because Katznelson                
          does not have a license control system that counts requests                 
          “as an indication of the use” of a product from CD-ROM.                     
               The obviousness rejection of claims 188 through 200 is                 
          reversed because the terminal 11 in Katznelson does not send a              
          request to terminal 10 while a product from CD-ROM “is in                   
          use.”                                                                       
               The obviousness rejection of claim 201 is sustained                    
          because the file use request 12 includes an address (i.e.,                  
          unit ID) of the terminal 11, and because appellant’s 35 U.S.C.              
          § 112, sixth paragraph, arguments (Brief, page 47) are without              
          merit since the specification is devoid of any specific                     
          structure.                                                                  
               For all of the reasons expressed supra in connection with              
          claim 170, the obviousness rejection of claim 202 is reversed.              
               The obviousness rejection of claim 204 is sustained                    
                                         16
