The examiner relies on the following references:
Industry Agents’ Handbook (IAH), Section 70.0 (2000 Ed.).
Prior art submitted by appellant relating to events involving
Airlines Reporting Corporation, collectively referred to as ARC.
Claims 1-15, 17 and 18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) as being unpatentable over the prior art submitted by
appellant which has collectively been labeled ARC. The basis for
this rejection was quoted from a prior Board decision in making a
new ground of rejection against the claims in a prior appeal of
this application (Appeal No. 2004-2110, mailed January 25, 2005).
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
