            Appeal 2007-3540                                                                                 
            Application 09/946,616                                                                           

        1              bank account number for a particular seller in the user bank account                  
        2              database, that user immediately receives payment for any goods sold via               
        3              the host web site, without any need for the buyer and seller to contact               
        4              one another.  Further, in the preferred embodiment, buyers that use the               
        5              1-Click service can purchase an item from the seller with a single mouse              
        6              click or other single action (Bogosian, col. 12, ll. 46-59).                          
        7          19. Bogosian’s purchase page includes a purchase button that buyers may                   
        8              select to purchase the advertised book.  A "1-Click Ready" message                    
        9              informs the buyer that the seller accepts Amazon.Com Payments.  This                  
       10              informs the buyer that the seller will be compensated immediately for                 
       11              the transaction once it is finalized by the buyer, thus avoiding the delay            
       12              that occurs when a seller waits for a check in the mail.  If the buyer has            
       13              enabled the 1-Click service, the page may optionally include a button,                
       14              link, or other control for buying the item with a single action (Bogosian,            
       15              col. 13, ll. 11-21).                                                                  
       16          20. Bogosian illustrates a sample order confirmation page displayed when                  
       17              the buyer selects the purchase button on the purchase page.  The display              
       18              of the confirmation page may optionally be omitted if 1-Click purchasing              
       19              is used.  The confirmation page repeats the book title, the buyer-                    
       20              identifier, and purchase price, and displays a shipping fee and a quantity            
       21              of books ordered.  The order confirmation page further includes a                     
       22              confirmation button that buyers may select to confirm their purchase of               
       23              the advertised book (Bogosian, col. 13, ll. 38-47).                                   
       24          21. In another embodiment, upon winning an auction or buying a fixed-                     
       25              price item, an email is sent to the buyer with a link to an Amazon.com                

                                                      7
