                 (Underwood, col. 257, ll. 38-43.)                                                  
                 27. Underwood further describes Figure 107 as follows:                             
                          From the main window, select the Report button                            
                       10336 (FIG. 103.1).  This may display the Report                             
                       Selection Screen 10700, which is illustrated in FIG. 107.

                       and select the Preview button 10702.  This may provide a                     
                       view of the report from which it is possible to created                      
                       printed copies.  To return to the main window select the                     
                       Close button 10704.                                                          
                 (Underwood, col. 258, ll. 17-23.)                                                  
                 28. Underwood does not describe a “not new” status; the only status code           
                 shown or described in Underwood is the “new” status code.                          
                 29. Underwood contains no teaching that an item coded as “new” will be             
                 acted on “actively” and one that is not will be acted on “inactively.”             
                 30. Liff is directed to “an apparatus and method for automated dispensing          
                 of packaged pharmaceuticals” (Liff, col. 2, ll. 18-20).                            
                 31. Liff describes that its database includes a medication history for each        
                 patient, and that the data tracked includes active and inactive medications,       
                 including the date the medication was dispensed (Liff, col. 19, ll. 17-20).        
                 32. Liff teaches maintaining a history for each customer of the customer’s         
                 of active and inactive patient prescriptions, and does not teach evaluating        
                 and indicating whether certain pharmaceuticals in the pharmacy’s database          
                 are active or inactive.                                                            

                                                 7
