Appeal No. 96-2894
Application 08/742,974
prior authorizations of said student for executing said
courseware" is broad enough to read on this procedure. It
was also known long before the filing date of this
application that passwords were used to provide
authorization to use certain programs, e.g., programs such
as LEXIS/NEXUS which charge a fee for use and must have some
way of identifying the users for billing purposes. In view
of these facts, it would have been obvious to verify
authorizations of students to execute the instructional
programs in Andersen because this limits access to those
students who have registered and paid for the course. For
these reasons, the rejection of claim 19 is sustained.
