Appeal No. 2002-0277
Application 08/618,005
Appellants argue that independent claims 1, 8 and 14 recite
a processor that is operable to retrieve from a plurality of
computer reservation systems inventory information and store the
inventory information in a database. Appellants argue that
Garback and Webber fail to teach this limitation. See pages 5
through 9 of the brief.
We note that independent claim 1 recites
a processor operable to: retrieve from a plurality of
computer reservation systems inventory information
comprising an identification of available travel
arrangements; store said inventory information in said
database.
We note that Appellants’ independent claim 8 recites
[a]n automated pricing system for use in a travel agency,
comprising: a database operable to store computer
reservation system inventory information and travel agency
profile information; and a processing network connected to
the database and operable to: access a plurality of computer
reservation systems and retrieve computer reservation system
inventory information comprising an identification of
available travel arrangements; store said retrieved computer
reservation system inventory information in said database.
We also note that Appellants’ independent claim 14 recites
[a] method for automatically pricing travel arrangements for
use in a travel agency, comprising the steps of: accessing a
plurality of computer reservation systems and retrieving
computer reservation system inventory information comprising
an identification of available travel arrangements; . . .
storing said retrieved computer reservation system inventory
information and said generated travel agency profile
information in a database.
