            Appeal 2007-0025                                                     Page 24                     
            Application 09/792,151                                                                           

            5.     Angles discloses embedding advertisements into electronic documents                       
            which advertisements are custom advertisements which can contain hyper-links to,                 
            for example, a purchase order request form (Angles, col. 4, ll. 6-16).                           

                   C. Principles of Law                                                                      
                  We incorporate herein the Principles of Law set forth in the Principles of                
            Law section for the rejection of claims 2, 7-9, 15, and 16 above.                                

                   D. Analysis                                                                               
                   Appellants argue that Angles does not mention products or services                        
            purchased or products or services for a particular store (FF 4). However, Angles                 
            clearly discloses that its invention covers custom advertisements that may be                    
            hyper-linked to a purchase order request form, for example. One of ordinary skill                
            in the art reading this disclosure would understand that stores with products and                
            services they handle are among the types of businesses which would provide                       
            custom advertisements connected to purchase order request forms. Accordingly, to                 
            one of ordinary skill in the art, Angles would suggest to one of ordinary skill in the           
            art products or services purchased or products or services for a particular store.               
            Accordingly, Appellants’ argument is unpersuasive as to error in the rejection.                  

                   D. Conclusion of Law                                                                      
                   On the record before us, Appellants have failed to show that the Examiner                 
            erred in rejecting claims 3 and 11 over the prior art.
