Appeal 2007-2742
Application 09/764,618
1 14. A preferred embodiment of the 1-Click service is set forth in U.S. Pat.
2 No. 5,960,411, which is incorporated into Bogosian by reference
3 (Bogosian, col. 5, ll. 27-29).
4 15. Once a buyer in Bogosian selects an item for purchase or wins an
5 auction for the item, the transaction facility obtains the buyer's credit
6 card and shipping information (Bogosian, col. 5, ll. 41-44).
7 16. If Bogosian’s buyer has set up and enabled 1-Click settings, the credit
8 card and shipping information are extracted automatically from such
9 settings; otherwise, the buyer is preferably prompted to specify the
10 information (Bogosian, col. 5, ll. 44-47).
11 17. Bogosian’s transaction facility then charges the buyer's credit card and
12 calculates a commission to be retained by the web site operator. In
13 addition, the transaction facility forwards the transaction information to
14 the electronic fund transfer application, which deposits the purchase
15 price amount (minus the commission) into the seller's bank checking
16 account. Finally, the transaction facility instructs the seller by email to
17 ship the product to the buyer (Bogosian, col. 5, ll. 47-55).
18 18. Bogosian’s sellers who advertise and sell products via online auctions
19 or online flea markets typically do not have a preexisting relationship
20 with those who purchase their products. As such, a seller generally will
21 not ship the purchased product until he or she has received payment in
22 full. Once the host web site has stored the bank routing number and
23 bank account number for a particular seller in the user bank account
24 database, that user immediately receives payment for any goods sold via
25 the host web site, without any need for the buyer and seller to contact
