         Appeal No. 2006-2700                                                       
         Application No. 10/705,456                                                 
         combination of Shapiro and Fisher teaches the claimed invention, as        
         discussed above, Jones is cumulative to a proper rejection of              
         representative claim 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                              
              In consequence, we do not find error in the Examiner’s                
         stated position, which concludes that the combination of Shapiro,          
         Fisher and Jones teaches the claimed limitation of processing a            
         plurality of function-specific parameters pertaining to a                  
         wireless mobile device to thereby generate a function-specific             
         response to a submitted request.  It is therefore our view, after          
         consideration of the record before us, that the evidence relied            
         upon and the level of skill in the particular art would have               
         suggested to the ordinarily skilled artisan the invention as set           
         forth in claims 3, 4, 6 through 8, 10 through 12, and 14 through           
         17.  Accordingly, we will sustain the Examiner’s obviousness               
         rejection of claims 3, 4, 6 through 8, 10 through 12 and 14                
         through 17.                                                                

         II. Under 35 U.S.C. § 103, is the rejection of claims 5, 9 and             
         13 as being unpatentable over the combination of Shapiro, Fisher,          
         Jones, Wookey and Wray proper?                                             
              With respect to claims 5, 9, and 13, Appellants argue in the          
         Appeal Brief that the combination of Shapiro, Fisher, Jones does           
         not disclose the claimed limitation of processing a plurality of           
                                                                                   
         delete such limitation.                                                    
                                         14
