               Appeal 2007-0732                                                                             
               Application 09/799,502                                                                       

               automatically grants him access to the application without "requir[ing] the                  
               client application to execute security procedures for [the] contacted server                 
               application."  (Id. ll. 63-64.)  Because Navarre uses the stored sets of user-               
               ids and passwords (in a comparison) to offer the user access to certain                      
               applications and grant him access to those he selects, we agree with the                     
               Examiner that the reference uses the stored data to log the user into the                    
               application.                                                                                 

                                                V. ORDER                                                    
                      For the aforementioned reasons, we affirm the rejection of claim 1 and                
               of claims 2-9, which fall therewith.                                                         

                      "Any arguments or authorities not included in the brief or a reply brief              
               filed pursuant to [37 C.F.R.] § 41.41 will be refused consideration by the                   
               Board, unless good cause is shown."  37 C.F.R. § 41.37(c)(1)(vii).                           
               Accordingly, our affirmance is based only on the arguments made in the                       
               briefs.  Any arguments or authorities omitted therefrom are neither before us                
               nor at issue but are considered waived.  Cf. In re Watts, 354 F.3d 1362,                     
               1367, 69 USPQ2d 1453, 1457 (Fed. Cir. 2004) ("[I]t is important that the                     
               applicant challenging a decision not be permitted to raise arguments on                      
               appeal that were not presented to the Board.")
