          Appeal No. 2003-1659                                                        
          Application No. 09/193,662                                                  

          With respect to independent claim 1, appellants argue that                  
          Anderson does not teach or suggest an HTTP server with server               
          software that is responsive to both an ATM transaction message              
          sent by the ATM host and conversion data in a data store or                 
          generating an object that includes transaction data.  Appellants            
          also argue that Vak does not teach or suggest a system for use              
          with an HTTP server.  Appellants argue that it would not have               
          been obvious to modify Anderson with the teachings of Vak to                
          produce the claimed invention.  Finally, appellants argue that              
          the factual findings of the rejection do not support a prima                
          facie case of obviousness [brief, pages 20-24].                             
          The examiner simply responds that Vak teaches the claimed                   
          ATM host and that an HTTP server would be inherently required to            
          interact via the Internet.  The examiner also responds that the             
          claimed conversion data is met by the manipulated financial                 
          information of Anderson [answer, pages 3-4].                                
          Appellants respond that there is no evidence of record that                 
          Vak teaches use of the Internet or HTTP.  Appellants argue that             
          Vak’s invention does not contemplate an Internet based system.              
          Appellants note that EFT networks do not require use of the                 
          Internet.  Finally, appellants argue that Anderson does not teach           
          conversion data associated with server software [reply brief].              
                                          7
