          Appeal No. 1998-2466                                      Page 10           
          Application No. 08/508,747                                                  

          checking the time accuracy of the first machine to verify the               
          time accuracy of the time-stamp.  Accordingly, we find that                 
          the examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of                  
          obviousness of the claimed invention.  The rejection of claims              
          1, 6, and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is therefore reversed.                    
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 1, 6, and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                       

                                      REVERSED
