profiles." We disagree. Champion states (column 5, lines 22-28)
that designated routings that have been requested by the user are
"continuously monitored over a predetermined period of time with
updates being automatically transmitted to the subscriber."
Champion does not indicate how long the "predetermined period of
time" is, but for such time, Champion must include a database of
various users' requests or preferences for callback. Therefore,
we will sustain the rejection of the group 1 claims under
rejection, claims 5, 11, 12, and 14.
Regarding the rejection of claims 6, 7, 15, and 16, the
group 2 claims, appellants contend (Brief, pages 9-10) that all
requests in Champion are made by phone rather than by pager, as
required by the claims. However, Champion discloses that
information may be provided to the user by phone, computer, or
pager. If a subscriber wishes to receive information by pager,
the skilled artisan would have found it obvious for the
subscriber likewise to be able to request the information by
pager. Therefore, we will sustain the rejection of claims 6, 7,
15, and 16.
