          Appeal No. 2006-0277                                                        
          Application No. 10/234,305                                                  
          suggest posting restaurant information on an Internet website.              
          However, as the examiner explains, CyberDiner’s apparatus is                
          “capable” of performing this function as it posts other information         
          on the Internet. Note, since the apparatus in CyberDiner clearly            
          “provides full Internet access” (paragraph 2), then it is capable           
          of reaching any Internet website, including websites wherein                
          posting is permitted.  The posting of “restaurant information” does         
          not patentably distinguish over the posting of any other type of            
          information on the Internet via the CyberDiner apparatus.                   
               The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1 and 3-7 under 35            
          U.S.C. §103 is affirmed.                                                    















                                         −9−
