               Appeal No. 2000-0765                                                                                                 
               Application No. 08/670,929                                                                                           


               or bus stop.  (See brief at page 11.)  We find no support in the language of claim 23 to                             
               support this argument.  Therefore, this argument is not persuasive.                                                  
                       With respect to dependent claim 24, appellants incorporate the same argument                                 
               as  made for claim 2.  (See brief at page 11.)  Similarly, we do not find this argument                              
               persuasive for the same reasons as discussed with respect to claim 2.                                                
                       With respect to independent claims 28, 29, 33, and 34, appellants present the                                
               same argument that the kiosk of Jacobs is not a "standalone electronic poster" as                                    
               argued with respect to claim 23.  (See brief at pages 12-13.)  Again, we do not find this                            
               argument persuasive.  Additionally, appellants argue that the advertising includes "a                                
               first image" which is not taught or suggested by Jacobs as argued with respect to claim                              
               1.  We disagree with appellants as discussed above with respect to claim 1.  Jacobs                                  
               does disclose the use of images as advertising.                                                                      


                       With respect to independent claim 38, the examiner maintains that the                                        
               advertising display may be mounted on/in a vehicle such as a cruise ship.  (See answer                               
               at page 5.)  Appellants argue that Jacobs does not teach delivering advertising  for the                             
               reasons argued with respect to claim 1.  (See brief at page 13.)  Again, we do not find                              
               this argument to be persuasive.  Appellants argue that Jacobs does not suggest the                                   
               use of the kiosk in a vehicle, but is stationary.  (See brief at page 13.)  We agree with                            
               appellants that there is no express teaching of the use of the kiosk of Jacobs in a                                  

                                                                12
