                    Appeal No. 2006-1429                                                                                                   
                    Application No. 10/437,995                                                                                             
                    not shown how this evidence along with the Eddie Bauer reference teaches that the                                      
                    business rules govern the service level configurations for presenting custom-labeled                                   
                    surface materials, as claimed in claims 5 and 16.  Rather, it would seem that such                                     
                    evidence would just show that it was known to charge Eddie Bauer based on the amount                                   
                    of data stored on the server.    Accordingly we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of                           
                    claims 5 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                                 
                                                              Conclusion                                                                   
                            In summary, we sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 1, 6 through 13 and 17                               
                    through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and we sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 3,  4,                              
                    14, 15 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  However, we will not sustain the examiner’s                                      
                    rejection of claim 2 under 35 U.S.C. § 102, nor will we sustain the examiner’s rejection                               
                    of claims 5 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-                                
                    part.                                                                                                                  





















                                                                                                                                           


                                                                    9
