Appeal No. 2004-0298 Application No. 09/385,226 enumerated at page 5 of the Brief, and again at pages 3 and 8 of the Reply Brief, the movie production financing method set forth in the appealed claims requires the offer of a specific dividend in the form of a copy of a not yet produced specific and unique movie in connection with the sale of a security, i.e., a share of stock, features which we find neither taught nor suggested by any of the prior art applied by the Examiner. In conclusion, since we are of the opinion that the prior art applied by the Examiner does not support the obviousness rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of independent claims 1, 20, 27, 42, and 46, nor of claims 2-19, 21-26, 28-41, 43-45, and 47-52 dependent thereon. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-52 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
