             Appeal No. 1999-0154                                                                                 
             Application 08/553,201                                                                               


             match/merged with the                                                                                


             billing detail record to produce a call disposition record,                                          
             all features present in each of the appealed independent                                             
             claims.                                                                                              
                    We take note of the fact that the Examiner at page 13 of                                      
             the Answer attempts to establish equivalence between the                                             
             various claimed features and alleged corresponding disclosed                                         
             features in Olsen.  We can find no basis on the record,                                              
             however, for the Examiner’s interpretation of the appealed                                           
             claims, nor for the interpretation of the disclosure of Olsen,                                       
             expressed in the Answer.  The Examiner attempts (Answer, page                                        
             14) to show equivalence of the billing information in the TCAP                                       
             MSU message in Olsen with that of Appellants by referring to                                         
             various passages in Olsen.  We find no such disclosure,                                              
             however, of any such billing information such as calling                                             
             numbers, account information, etc. in these cited passages, or                                       
             elsewhere in Olsen.  Similarly, we find no disclosure in the                                         
             excerpt from Olsen cited by the Examiner (col. 9, lines 49-59)                                       
             of the merging of TCAP and ISDN-UP message units, nor any                                            
             suggestion that this description could be reasonably                                                 
                                                      -7-7
