          Appeal No. 96-3540                                                          
          Application 07/815,654                                                      


          authorization, no automatic authorization can be found as                   
          argued by Appellants.                                                       
               We find that all claims recite the automatic payment                   
          authorization upon validation which is not found or suggested               
          in the applied prior art.  Therefore we have not sustained the              
          rejection of claims 1 through 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                     
          Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is reversed.
