Appeal 2007-1762
Application 10/218,245
Upon review of the citations proffered by the Examiner in the rejection of
claim 19, and the Togawa reference in its entirety, we find nothing in
Togawa that fairly discloses a user registering at a partner site (see claim 19)
or a user changing profile fields other than an e-mail address (see claims 19,
35, and 40).
Additionally, we note that the Examiner has not provided a citation
addressing the limitation of displaying a message to the user that the new
e-mail address is to be sent to the partner site but not to the authentication
proxy, as required by the equivalent language of claims 19 and 35 and the
similar language of 40, i.e., “displaying a message to said user that new
e-mail will be sent to partner site but e-mail address at said authentication
proxy unchanged” (claim 40). Upon review of the citations proffered by the
Examiner in the rejection of claims 19, 35, and 40, and the Togawa
reference in its entirety, we find nothing in Togawa that fairly discloses
displaying such a message to the user. Therefore, we will reverse the
Examiner’s rejection of independent claims 19, 35 and 40 as being
anticipated by Togawa.
Dependent claims 20-23
Because we have reversed the Examiner’s rejection of independent
claim 19 as being anticipated by Togawa, we will also reverse the
Examiner’s rejection of claim 20 as being unpatentable over Togawa, as
claim 20 depends from claim 19. We have pro forma reversed the
Examiner’s rejection of claims 21-23 as improper, as discussed supra in
Footnote 2.
