                Appeal 2007-1992                                                                               
                Application 09/318,447                                                                         

                information.”  Claims 59, 89, 101 and others called for “consolidating                         
                multiple orders placed … into a single order.” On 12/24/02, an amendment                       
                was filed canceling claims 49-107 and adding claims 108-183 – many of                          
                which are now under appeal, including claims 108, 151, and 176 which                           
                provide that the user does not need to log in to the computer to order an item                 
                and claim 126 which provides that the server computer automatically                            
                combines orders into a single order.                                                           
                      The original claims do not mention providing that the user does not                      
                need to log in to the computer to order an item or providing that the server                   
                computer automatically combines orders into a single order as now claimed                      
                in claims 108, 151, and 176, and 126, respectively.                                            
                      Turning to the Specification, we find only the following relevant                        
                disclosure:                                                                                    
                      • “In response to this selection, the server system may require the                      
                      purchaser to perform a “login” so that the identity of the purchaser can                 
                      be verified before shipping information is viewed or modified.” P.                       
                      7:16-18.                                                                                 
                      • “The server  system may require the purchases [sic] to “login”                         
                      so that the identify [sic] of the purchaser can be verified before the                   
                      single-action ordering is enabled.” P. 8:17-19.                                          
                      • “those orders may be cost effectively combined into a single                           
                      order for shipping.” P. 8:24-25.                                                         
                      • “are combined into a separate order.” P. 9:5.                                          
                      • “single-action orders can be combined” P. 12:5.                                        
                      • “those sibling orders into a single combined order” P. 13: 10-                         
                      11.
