               Appeal 2007-0601                                                                             
               Application 09/792,290                                                                       

               received from each of the individual group members, nor allowing each                        
               group member to view the feedback of other group members.                                    
                      Accordingly, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejections of claims                  
               6-8, 14, and 17.                                                                             

                                         CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                  
                      We conclude that Appellants have not shown the Examiner erred in                      
               rejecting claims 1-5, 9-13, 15, 16, 18, and 19.  We conclude that Appellants                 
               have shown the Examiner erred in rejecting claims 6-8, 14, and 17.                           
                      Claims 1-5, 9-13, 15, 16, 18, and 19 are not patentable.                              
                      On the record before us, claims 6-8, 14, and 17 have not been shown                   
               to be unpatentable.                                                                          

                                                DECISION                                                    
                      The Examiner’s rejection of claims 1-5, 9-13, 15, 16, 18, and 19 is                   
               affirmed. The Examiner’s rejection of claims 6-8, 14, and 17 is reversed.                    
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                    
               this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).

               eld
