Appeal No. 2006-0986
Application No. 09/745,818
Claim 13 claims a contactless product label chipcard for use in a
system according to claim 1. Claim 14 claims a device for reading
and initiating payment status for use in a system according to
claim 1. Claim 15 claims a method for executing payments in a
system as claimed in claim 1. Claims 22-24 claim a computer
program product stored in the internal memory of a computer
containing parts of software code for performance of the method
according to, respectively, claim 15, claim 17 (which depends from
claim 16 which depends from claim 15), and claim 20 (which depends
from claim 15). Because the contactless product label chipcard in
claim 13, the device in claim 14, and the methods in claims 15 and
22-24 are for use with the system of claim 1, we consider the
contactless label chipcard required by those claims to include all
of the contactless label chipcard limitations recited in claim 1.1
1 If the appellants are of the view that independent claims 13-15 and 22-24 do not require all of
the contactless label chipcard limitations recited in claim 1, then the appellants and the examiner should
address on the record the scope of claims 13-15 and 22-24 as to those limitations.
