          Appeal No. 2003-0108                                                        
          Application No. 09/123,778                                                  


          descriptions of information items in the configuration file, and            
          not to information items per se.  Any items described in Chen’s             
          configuration file must be purchased directly from suppliers 10,            
          20 and 30, and not from the configuration file.                             
               In summary, the obviousness rejection of claims 55 through             
          78 is reversed because “neither reference discloses or suggests             
          upload of digital goods from multiple providers . . . and storage           
          of those goods in a centrally administered storage and                      
          distribution region of a global computer network, or download of            
          purchased digital goods of multiple providers from the centrally            
          administered storage and distribution region” (reply brief, page            
          5).                                                                         














          as the information per se.  Chen does not disclose that the BBS             
          has an inventory of information items from a plurality of                   
          providers.                                                                  
                                          5
