          Appeal No. 1998-2693                                       Page 9           
          Application No. 08/569,976                                                  


          suggests that only a single address is stored in the pager.                 
          Specifically, "pagers are typically provided with subscriber                
          specific information, such as, for example, an identification               
          code.  However, this type of                                                
          information may be readily generated and stored within the                  
          pager."  Col. 1, ll. 43-47.  Relying on Moore '121 only to                  
          teach "transmission of RF signals ... in a time division                    
          multiplexed format."  (Examiner's Answer at 6), the examiner                
          fails to allege, let alone show, that Moore '121 cures the                  
          deficiency of Moore '021 and Berry.                                         


               Because Berry does not teach a command or function for                 
          enabling and disabling a pager's address, we are not persuaded              
          that teachings from the prior art would have suggested the                  
          limitations of      "multiple storage locations containing                  
          stored Selectable receiver addresses; a manually operable                   
          selection means located on said receiver for enabling and                   
          disabling stored receiver addresses" or "storing multiple                   
          receiver addresses in each one of the receivers, each stored                
          receiver address associated with a different receiver user;                 
          receiving the signals with the RF receivers; ... and manually
