In addition, we make the following art of record:
Rothenberg, Subject:Mortgage Loan, Personal Finance Digest, Vol. 5, No. 33, July
15, 1998
REJECTION
Claims 77 through 87 and 93 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
obvious over Norris and Mortgage Marketplace.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner
and the appellants regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the
examiner's answer (mailed February 6, 2006) for the reasoning in support of the
rejection, and to appellants’ brief (filed November 21, 2005) and reply brief (filed
March 28, 2006) for the arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given careful consideration
to the appellants’ specification and claims, to the applied prior art references, and
to the respective positions articulated by the appellants and the examiner. As a
consequence of our review, we make the determinations that follow.
