                 Application No. 09/852,831                                                                              

                 suggestion in Alaia that the auction should be extended if no bids which are                            
                 equal to or greater then the reserve price are received.                                                
                        In summary, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims                               
                 1 through 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  The decision of the examiner is                                 
                 reversed.
