         Appeal No. 2006-0329                                                       
         Application 09/839,037                                                     
         information from the customer client via the computer network”.            
         Cusack’s reception information is provided by the provider                 
         (supplier) not the buyer (client) (col. 6, lines 1-3; col. 7, lines        
         12-14 and 65-67; col. 8, lines 8-20; col. 9, lines 6-14 and 28-32).        
         The examiner has not explained how the applied prior art would have        
         fairly suggested, to one of ordinary skill in the art, receiving           
         secure area part reception information from a customer client.             
              For the above reasons we conclude that the examiner has not           
         carried the burden of establishing a prima facie case of obviousness       
         of the appellants’ claimed invention.                                      
                                       DECISION                                     
              The rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 14-16 and 18           
         over Muhme in view of Cusack, claims 14, 17, 19, 20, 22 and 23 over        
         Muhme in view of Cusack and Nelson, and claim 21 over Muhme in view        
         of Cusack, Nelson and Byford, are reversed.                                


                                       REVERSED
