          Application No. 10/115,138

          claim and any intervening claims (answer, page 12), leaves only             
          claims 1 and 4-10 before us on appeal.                                      
               We reverse.                                                            
                                     BACKGROUND                                       
               Appellants= invention relates to a data registration system            
          wherein user identification data from the user device is received           
          in a server for determining whether the user is an authorized               
          user.  According to Appellants, a unique user identification is             
          transmitted in a file along with a data file to the e-mail                  
          address included in the file.  Upon receiving the data, the mail            
          server registers the data and the unique identification data in             
          association form so that tampering by an unauthorized party                 
          having an address not associated with the user identification may           
          be prevented (specification, pages 4-6).                                    
               Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced below:                
               1. A data registration system comprising a portable                    
          electronic device, a database server and a mail server that are             
          capable of communicating with one another, wherein user                     
          identification data for identifying a user of said portable                 
          electronic device is transmitted from said portable electronic              
          device to said database server, said database server comprising:            
               a user identification data receiving unit for receiving user           
          identification data transmitted from said portable electronic               
          device;                                                                     

                                          2
