            Application 09/148,832

                         received said data utilization means.                                               

                                             THE REJECTION                                                   
                   The Examiner relies upon the following as evidence of unpatentability:                    
                    Ginter                   US 5,892,900                    Apr. 6, 1999                    
                   Appellants seek our review of the Examiner’s rejection of claims 2-52 under               
            35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as anticipated by Ginter.                                                     

                                                   ISSUE                                                     
                   The issue before us is whether the disclosure of Ginter anticipates                       
            claims 2-52, and more particularly, whether Ginter’s “rules and controls” use a                  
            format to set boundaries in accordance with attributes for a transaction and the                 
            scope of data to be used for the transaction.
