Ex Parte JOHNSON - Page 7



          Appeal No. 2003-1410                                                        
          Application 09/272,056                                                      


                    Finally, that the examiner’s assertion at page 8 of the           
          Answer that claim 38 is identical to the features recited in                
          representative claim 1 on appeal is misplaced is noted again.               
          Appellant’s arguments at pages 17 through 21 of the principal               
          Brief on appeal are persuasive to justify the reversal of the               
          rejection of this claim.  We agree with appellant’s view                    
          expressed at page 19 of this Brief that Sixtus does not disclose            
          or suggest that the vendors maintain a second directory software            
          storing a master list controlled and periodically updated by the            
          first directory software where the master list includes a                   
          priority of IDs and the corresponding encrypted passwords and an            
          identification of the financial institution.  Correspondingly,              
          Sixtus does not teach that a bank or financial institution                  
          periodically updates any list that may be maintained by a vendor            
          in his system.                                                              








                                          7
