                Appeal 2007-0765                                                                              
                Application 09/817,826                                                                        

                      Appellant's invention relates to a customer registration system that                    
                improves confidentiality of the customer at the time of registration.  Claim                  
                15 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as follows:                         
                      15. A customer registration system for improving the protection of                      
                the confidentiality of information provided by a customer at the time of                      
                registration, said system comprising:                                                         
                      at least one first substrate locatable at a first location;                             
                      a plurality of registration labels detachably adhered to said first                     
                substrate, each of said labels having one of a series of first indicia                        
                identifying the position of each of said labels in an uninterrupted sequence,                 
                each of said labels further having at least one field within which the                        
                information is to be entered in writing by the customer, said first location                  
                being a location sufficiently accessible to the customer to permit the                        
                customer to view said labels detachably adhered to said first substrate and to                
                enter information in said field of one of said labels while said one of said                  
                labels remains detachably adhered to said first substrate, and                                

                      a registration log having at least one second substrate, said second                    
                substrate having a plurality of label-retaining spaces and a series of second                 
                indicia, said second indicia corresponding to said first indicia to associate                 
                each one of said spaces with a respective corresponding one of said labels                    
                according to said sequence, each said one of said spaces including an area to                 
                which said respective corresponding one of said labels may be adhered after                   
                the information has been entered in writing in said field by the customer and                 
                said corresponding one of said labels has been detached from said first                       
                substrate so that said labels adhered to said second substrate provide an                     
                original record of said writing, said second substrate being locatable at a                   
                second location at a time when said first substrate is located at said first                  
                location, said second location being a location at which the entered                          
                information on any said labels adhered to said second substrate is out of                     
                view of the customer in order to protect the confidentiality of the                           
                information.                                                                                  



                                                      2
