          Appeal No. 2001-2051                                                         
          Application 08/923,293                                                       
          (request)/recommendation system as taught by Payton, although                
          Robinson does not appear to be necessary to the rejection.  The              
          limitation of "means for filtering said database storage means               
          using said inputted user commands to obtain recommendations to a             
          user based on said inputted user commands" reads on the                      
          recommendation systems of Robinson and Payton.  For these                    
          reasons, the rejection of claim 16 is sustained.                             
                                      CONCLUSION                                       
               The rejection of claims 1-15 is reversed.  The rejection of             
          claim 16 is affirmed.                                                        
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                      
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                     
          § 1.136(a).
