consent to computer-aided delivery of data. To the contrary, Tanaka's invention is used
for "selling/buying, cancellation of a contract or changing of a trader relative to financial
security papers such as stocks and various goods. . . ." Col. 3, ll. 42-45.
Absent a teaching or suggestion of using a computer to provide a specific type of
data to an individual, causing the computer to prompt the individual to consent to
computer-aided delivery of additional data of the same type, and communicating the
consent from the computer to another computer, we are unpersuaded of a prima facie
case of obviousness. Therefore, we reverse the obviousness rejection of claim 1; of
claims 2-12, which depend therefrom; of claim 13; of claims 14-20, which depend
therefrom; of claim 21; and of claims 22-24, which depend therefrom.
