                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                                   
                                       STATEMENT OF THE CASE                                                  
                      Appellant’s appeal is under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final rejection of                 
                claims 1 to 20.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b).                                 
                      Appellant has invented a system and method to collect usage data                        
                from at least one node of a network.  An administrative application identifies                
                at least one node of the network, and the system and method autonomously
