Appeal No. 2002-0086 Page 8
Application No. 09/053,880
Here, because O'Brien cannot and does not allow a passenger to dictate the
time and destination of an airplane, we are unpersuaded that teachings from the prior
art itself would have suggested dynamically updating trip manifests in response to the
scheduling of an individual trip. Therefore, we reverse the obviousness rejection of
claims 3, 5, 8, 11, and 14.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the rejection of claims 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 13 under § 102(e)
is reversed. The rejection of claims 3, 5, 8, 11, and 14 under § 103(a) is also reversed.
