          Appeal No. 2002-1946                                                        
          Application 08/988,080                                                      
               receiving a user request for directory assistance;                     
               processing the user request and selectively providing                  
          directory assistance information of a called party;                         
               receiving a request to initiate a call completion service              
          to be performed within a telecommunications system based on a               
          telephone number of said called party;                                      
               instructing a calling party to terminate a connection to               
          the packet switched network to make a line available for incoming           
          calls if the calling party wishes to receive said all on said               
          same line as said connection to the packet switched network;                
               communicating to the telecommunications system to make a               
          first outbound call leg to the called party number and a second             
          outbound leg to the calling party; and                                      
               communicating to the telecommunications system that if both            
          call legs are initiated successfully, to couple the two legs to             
          complete a call between the called party and the calling party.             
               The following references are relied on by the examiner:                
          Rondeau                       5,850,433           Dec. 15, 1998             
                                             (filing date May 1, 1996)                
          Low et al. (Low)(PCT)         WO 97/22210         June 19, 1997             
               Claims 1, 3-11, 15-26 and 33 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.            
          § 103.  As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon                
          Rondeau in view of Low.                                                     
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the             
          examiner, reference is made to the briefs and answer for the                
          respective details thereof.
