          Appeal No. 2006-1544                                                        
          Application 10/024,621                                                      

          look-up tables establishing a desired correlation between specific          
          guidance and combinations of profile information and a birth-related        
          classification, such as astrological horoscope signs, or by                 
          utilizing an artificial intelligence engine in the manner noted             
          above to correlate the profile information on a subject with a              
          database containing a plurality of pre-defined beauty advice                
          records, with the correlation being made based upon past success            
          with other individuals sharing similar profile information and              
          astrological horoscope signs. In that regard, we also note that the         
          examiner has provided no convincing explanation or line of reasoning        
          as to why making and using a system and method like that described          
          and claimed by appellants would have required undue experimentation.        
          See, for example, MPEP § 2164.01 and 2164.01(a) for the factors to          
          be addressed by the examiner in establishing that there is                  
          sufficient evidence to support a determination that a disclosure            
          does not satisfy the enablement requirement, which factors do not           
          appear to have been considered by the examiner.                             
          For the above reasons, we will not sustain the examiner's                   
          rejection of claims 1 through 69 under 35 U.S.C. 112, first                 
          paragraph, as being based on a non-enabling disclosure.                     
          We next consider the examiner's rejection of claims 1, 4                    
          through 6, 9 through 15, 17 through 20, 24 through 27, 29 through           
          36, 43 through 47, 51 through 53, 56, 59 through 62 and 64 through          

                                            7
