BOALICK, Administrative Patent Judge.
1 Application filed April 26, 2001. Application 09/844,976 is a
continuation-in-part of 09/564,082, filed 5/3/2000, and claims the benefit
under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of provisional applications 60/249,153, filed
11/16/2000, 60/268,482, filed 02/12/2001, 60/262,811, filed 1/19/2001,
60/271,578, filed 2/22/2001, and 60/272,741, filed 3/1/2001. The real party
in interest is The Direct TV Group, Inc. of El Segundo, California.
We note that there appears to be an omission in the Appeal Brief of a prior
related appeal and several pending related appeals. See 37 C.F.R. §§ 41.8,
41.37(c)(1)(ii); MPEP 1205.02. Specifically, there was an earlier decided
appeal of a related application (Serial No. 09/844,919, Appeal No. 2006-
2918) and there are three currently pending appeals of other related
applications (Serial Nos. 09/564,082, 09/844,920, and 09/844,932).
