Appeal No. 2005-1632
Application No. 10/448,194
destination display that “no benefit is to be credited to this customer,” or similar words.
Deaton discloses subject matter within the scope of what the claim actually requires, at
least at column 59, lines 32 through 53. Deaton teaches numerous messages from the
host computer to the POS terminal display dealing with matters that do not credit a
benefit to the retail customer. The messages thus fall within the meaning of messages
that convey “no benefit” is to be credited to the customer.
CONCLUSION
The rejection of claims 68-73, 75-83, 85-93, and 95-97 under 35 U.S.C. § 102
and the rejection of claims 74, 84, and 94 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Deaton are
affirmed.
