          Appeal No. 2003-0977                                                        
          Application No. 09/219,995                                                  

                                    Related Issue                                     
               We note that the oath lists the second inventor as "Robin H.           
          Foster" and his residence as "Little Silver" in the state of "New           
          Jersey."  There has been a transcription error on the part of the           
          Office in transferring this data into the rest of the record                
          where the inventor and residence are listed as "Robin H. Roster"            
          of the town of "Foster" in the state of "Massachusetts."  The               
          Examiner is instructed to have these errors corrected                       
          accordingly.                                                                
                                      Invention                                       
               Appellants' invention relates to methods and apparatus for             
          implementing a selection process in a call processing system.  A            
          call selection process in a call center is configured to utilize            
          a continuum of skill levels, in one or more categories, for a               
          given multi-skill agent.  Categories of levels are associated               
          with skills supported by each agent, with each of the categories            
          including a level, e.g., a numerical value for each of the                  
          skills.  The levels are used in a call selection computation that           
          determines which of a number of waiting calls should be delivered           
          to the agent.  See Appellants' specification at page 2, lines 18-           
          24.                                                                         



                                          2
