                   Appeal No. 2006-1854                                                                                            
                   Application No. 09/867,174                                                                                      

                          The examiner rejected claim 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over                          
                   Altendahl in view of Landvater and Dietrich.  Claim 13 depends upon claim 11.  The                              
                   examiner has not asserted nor do we find that Dietrich teaches or suggests modifying                            
                   Altendahl or Landvater to construct alternative fulfillment plans to ship the ordered item                      
                   to different locations and then select the location based upon an evaluation of the                             
                   fulfillment plan.  Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claim 13                        
                   for the reasons discussed supra with respect to claim 11.                                                       
                          Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 11 through                           
                   20, under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of the examiner is reversed.                                            

                                                          REVERSED
