              Appeal No. 1998-2093                                                                                       
              Application No. 08/303,809                                                                                 

              implementing data transfer.  We therefore do not sustain the rejection of claim 13, nor                    
              claims 16, 17, and 19, incorporating the limitations of claim 13.                                          
                     Each of independent claim 1, drawn to a process, and independent claim 7, drawn                     
              to a product, contains language corresponding to that of claim 13 in setting forth ordered                 
              sending and receiving of first, second, and third signals between the provider and                         
              consumer computers in effecting data transfer between the computers, and particular                        
              actions associated with the signals.  Since not all the limitations of claim 1, nor all the                
              limitations of claim 7, are met by Yamaoka, we do not sustain the rejection of those claims,               
              nor the remainder of the claims on appeal, 4-6, 8, and 12, depending from claim 1 or 7.                    




















                                                    CONCLUSION                                                           

                                                           -7-
