              Claims 1-15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                   
         unpatentable over Muret in view of Tsuchida.                               
              Reference is made to the brief (filed July 5, 2005) and               
         answer for the respective positions of appellants and the                  
         examiner.                                                                  
                                  OPINION                                           
              With regard to independent claim 1, the examiner contends             
         that Muret describes a method for tracking the actions of an               
         Internet user comprising loading data from one or more                     
         transaction logs of one or more Internet servers into a database           
         system (page 2, paragraph 51, lines 1-2 of Muret), where the data          
         includes an entry for each request to the Internet server (page            
         2, paragraph 51, lines 4-6 of Muret), including information                
         identifying which user submitted the request (page 4, paragraph            
         71, lines 7-10 of Muret) and information identifying the time at           
         which the request was received (page 3, paragraph 55, lines 1-5            
         of Muret), wherein all entries associated with a particular user           
         and corresponding to a single session of that user is selected             
         from the data (page 4, paragraph 71 of Muret).
