              Appeal 2007-2215                                                                                     
              Application 09/918,287                                                                               
         1          11. Shniberg discloses a system and method for providing photographs of                        
         2    spectators at an entertainment event.  (Shniberg, Abstract, ll. 1-3).  Each spectator                
         3    has an assigned seat and receives a ticket which includes a seat location indicia.                   
         4    (Shniberg, Paragraphs 58 and 59).                                                                    
         5          12.  In Shniberg’s system, any person having access to a spectator’s ticket                    
         6    or who has otherwise received the seat location indicia may view any picture taken                   
         7    of a spectator located at the indicated seat location by entering a suitable website                 
         8    and entering the seat location indicia.  (Shniberg, Paragraph 61).                                   
         9          13. Also in Shniberg’s system, each ticket includes a removable spectator                      
        10    identifier intended to be transferred by the spectator onto his or her clothing, and a               
        11    spectator identifier code corresponds to each spectator identifier.  (Shniberg,                      
        12    Paragraphs 49 and 55).                                                                               
        13          14. In Shniberg’s system, any person who has otherwise received the                            
        14    spectator identification code may view any picture taken of a spectator wearing a                    
        15    spectator identifier by entering a suitable web site and then providing the spectator                
        16    identification code corresponding to that spectator identifier.  (Shniberg, Paragraph                
        17    55).                                                                                                 
        18          15. In Paragraph 74, Shniberg states:                                                          
        19                 In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present                                
        20          invention, a spectator or any other person having access to ticket 410                         
        21          or who has otherwise received the identification code 418, such as via                         
        22          a real time telephone call or any other suitable communication, may                            
        23          view in real time or thereafter any picture taken of a spectator wearing                       
        24          a spectator identifier 416 and/or located in a seat location identified                        
        25          by seat location indicia 412 by entering a suitable web site and then,                         
        26          typically in response to suitable prompts, entering the spectator                              
        27          identification code 418, which corresponds to the spectator                                    
        28          identification data provided by the spectator identifier 416 or entering                       
        29          the seat location indicia 412.                                                                 


                                                         7
