Appeal No. 2003-0133
Application 08/940,702
Although we agree with the examiner that Williams does teach
a system for paying bills, we fail to find that Williams teaches
a method for manipulating billing and payment information having
the steps of downloading bill information, accessing retained
criteria entered by a user, formatting the display of field
information, acting on the retained criteria and displaying the
detailed billing records and formatted field in accordance with
the acted upon retained criteria using the specialized
application, and operating on the formatted field information as
recited in appellants’ claim 1. Furthermore, we fail to find
that Williams teaches an Internet browser interface for
manipulating consumer billing and payment information, comprising
means for downloading, means for accessing retained criteria
entered by the user, means for formatting the display of field
information, means for acting upon retained criteria, means for
displaying said detailed and billing records, and said formatted
field information means for operating on the formatted field
information as recited in appellants’ claim 25. Therefore, we
will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 3,
5, 6, 8 through 12, and 25 through 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as
being anticipated by Williams.
