OVERVIEW OF THE ‘720 PATENT A. PRIORITY DATE OF THE ‘720 PATENT The *720 Patent is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/664,587 filed Sep. 18, 2000, now Pat. 7,389,915 (the “ ‘915 Patent”), which claims priority to provisional application No. 60/155,102 filed Sept. 22, 1999. B. SUMMARY OF THE ‘720 PATE The ‘720 Patent is summarized in the Abstract: “A financial management sysiem includes a client terminal having a financial management application and a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface is configured to display transaction data, enable user modification of the transaction data, and transmit modified transaction data to the financial management application. “ The ‘720 Patent references Quicken from Intuit as the “financial management application.” The ‘720 Patent claims are directed to providing a GUI with online transaction information, providing the user the ability to enter an expense category for the transaction, and efter the user clicks “accept,” downloading the transaction data to Quicken or another financial management program. Fig. 3 copied below illustrates the GUI. | Pa | Purchase Date Purchase Amount| Online Payee Credit Card # FIG. 3 C. SUMMARY OF RELEVANT PROSECUTION FILE HISTORY ‘The parent ‘915 Patent was rejected multiple times before finally being allowed. The ‘915 Patent issued with system claims, setting forth both a commercial server and a consumer terminal. ‘Ihe ‘720 Patent only received §112 rejections , which were overcome by cancelling the claims and submitting new -8- claims which were allowed. None of the cited references was as close as the prior art cited herein. Makipiii Pat. 6,394,341 relates to electronic receipts and was cited in an IDS, but was not mentioned by the Examiner. The examiner cited other references at the time of allowing the ‘720 Patent, but without discussion. The only patents discussed by the Examiner were in the parent ‘915 Patent file history. Treyz Pat. 6,587,835, cited by the examiner in a rejection, describes a handheld computing device that wirelessly interacts with a supermarket computer for transactions. Green Pat. 5,664,110, cited by the examiner in a rejection, describes a remote ordering system. Sullivan Pat. 6,999,990, cited by the examiner in a rejection, describes an Internet help session, with history tracked. Friedman Pat. 6,965,912, cited by the examiner in a rejection, shows an electronic greeting card system. D. PERSON OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART One of ordinary skill in the art at time of the earliest claimed effective filing date of the ‘720 Patent (Sept. 22, 1999) would have an undergraduate degree in computer science, or equivalent work experience, including familiarity with graphical user interfaces (GUIs), financial recordkeeping, the XML markup language and World Wide Web communication. See Shamos Declaration §9-11. PROPOSED CLAIM CONSTRUCTION Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(b), the claim terms of an unexpired patent subject to inter partes review shall receive the “broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of the patent in which [they] appearf].” See also In re Swanson, No. 07-1534 (Fed. Cir. 2008); In re Trans Texas Holding Corp., 498 F.3d 1290, 1298 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (citing In re Yamamoto, 740 F.2d 1569, 1571 (Fed. Cir. 1984).) In compliance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(4), Petitioner states that, in general, the “claim terms are presumed to take on their ordinary and customary meaning.” See Changes to Implement Inter Partes Review Proceedings, Post-Grant Review Proceedings, and Transitional Program for Covered Business Method Patents, 77 Fed, Reg. 48699 (2012), Response to Comment 35. However, where a definitioa is provided by a patent applicant for a specific claim term, that definition will control interpretation of the term as it is used in the claim. See, e.g., Toro Co. v. White Consolidated Indus., Inc., 199 F.3d 1295, 1301 (Fed. Cir. 1999), All claim terms not specifically addressed below have been accorded their broadest reasonable interpretation in light of the patent specification, including their plain and ordinary meaning, to the extent such a meaning could be determined by a skilled artisan. aie There have been no claim construct:on briefs or orders yet in the related District Court litigation. Petitioner proposes to adopt the following constructions based on the reasons below and as set forth in Shamos Declaration f] 32-50. Claim Terms 1 “online transaction” This is not defined in the ‘720 Patent, and alternate uses are “online commercial transaction” (‘720 Patent 1:67) and “online financial transaction” (‘720 Patent Abstract). Since “online transaction” isn’t modified, it is presumed to be broader. Since “online” is not defined, its ordinary use of using a computer network is assumed. Accordingly, Petitioner submits the broadest reasonable interpretation of a “online transaction” is any transaction that is conducted in whole or in part using a computer network. See Shamos Declaration § 34. 2. “at the conclusion of an online transaction” The only mention of “conclusion” outside the claims is “...the Financial Assistant could be invoked upon the occurrence of a predetermined event, such as the commencement or conclusion of an online transaction.” ee Petitioner submits the broadest reasonable interpretation of a “at the conclusion of an online transaction” is after the online transaction has concluded. Sce Shamos Declaration ff] 35-36. 3. “a reminder for a financial transaction consummated online” Outside of claims 12 and 19, the only place the term “reminder” appears in the ‘720 Patent is in the Background: “However, the present financial management systems provide neither a mechanism for creating reminders for financial transactions consummated online, nor for directly entering information associated with online transactions.” (‘720 Patent 1:51-55). This claim language was introduced in the 9-21-2011 amendment as new claims, with the only comment being “New claims 15-34 recite substantially the same claim language, albeit different claim scope, of the issued parent case, US Patent No 7,389,915.” Thus, the “reminder” is simply the presentation of the GUI for a transaction, which “reminds” the user to enter a category and download it to the financial management program (e.g., Quicken) Accordingly, Petitioner submits the broadest reasonable interpretation of a “a reminder for a financial transaction consummated online” is a prompt for selection of a category for a financial transaction consummated online. See Shamos Declaration ff 46-50. 4. “suggested name” Dependent claim 9 recites “wherein the web browser provides a suggested name based on the name of the merchant.” The term “suggest” only appears in the claims, and there is no description of providing a suggested name in the ‘720 patent, only that the category could be based on previous categories. The language of claim 9 first appeared in the file history in the 11-29-2006 amendment in the parent ‘915 patent as new claim 25. Origiral claim 10 of the parent ‘915 patent was nearly identical, hut recited “provides a suggested category based on the name of the merchant.” Accordingly, Petitioner submits the broadest reasonable interpretation of a “suggested name” is suggested category name. See Shamos Declaration {| 42. V. PROPOSED REJECTIONS SHOWING THAT PETITIONER HAS A REASONABLE LIKELIHOOD OF PREVAILING Summary of the grounds of rejection. ‘The ‘720 Patent independent claims are directed to providing a GUI with online transaction information, providing the user the ability to enter an expense category for the transaction, and after the user clicks “accept,” downloading the transaction data to Quicken or another financial management program. The Background of the ‘720 Patent acknowledges that in the prior art, using Quicken, a user can “download credit card charges from a number of member banks.” ‘720 Patent 1:47-48. The prior art supposedly cid not provide a mechanism “for directly entering information associated with online transactions.” Id., 1:54-55. The prior art also supposedly “store[s] data only about the total transaction amount, but fail[s] to store information about the particular items purchased and the costs of the particular items.” Id. 1:56-58. Note that this feature (storing data regarding the particular items purchased) only appears in claims 13 and 19-20. The closest prior art before the Examiner of the ‘720 Patent was Makipaai, cited in an IDS but not discussed by the Examiner, showing an electronic receipt. As described above, the prior art cited by the Examiner was not close, showing a handheld computing device that wirelessly interacts with a supermarket computer for transactions, a remote ordering system, an Internet help session, with history tracked, and an electronic greeting card system. The prior art discussed below was not found by the Examiner, and shows the supposed invention. Williams (Verifone) discloses all the elements of the independent claims except an explicit category reference: an electronic wallet for selecting from a variety of payment cards for an online transaction. It provides a GUI showing individual items purchased, allows the use to modify information and enter data (e.g.,a category) in a memo field, and download to a financial management program, or alternately export to Quicken. -14- Schutzer (Citibank) similarly shows the independent claim elements. It provides a GUI using “intelligent agents” to capture online transaction information (bill payment, stock purchases, ctc.). It shows a category field in the GUI, and downloading the data to Quicken. It does not show the items in a transaction. Chancey (Intuit) describes improvements to Intuit’s Quicken product, and explicitly shows prompting the user to enter a category code, and would be obvious to combine with this inherent feature in Williams (memo field) or Schutzer (category field) because both download to Quicken. Schrader (Intuit) describes improvements to Intuit’s Quicken product, and explicitly discloses the list of previous payees (merchants) in ‘720 Patent dependent claims 8-10. Makipaai (Nokia) and Tannenbaum show electronic receipts with itemized products, and downloading to Quicken. They thus show the itemization missing from Schutzer, and set forth in ‘702 Patent claims 13 & 19-20, and are obvious to combine with Schutzer, which describes a download to Quicken. A. GROUND 1: CLAIMS 1-7 & 11-20 ARE OBVIOUS OVER WILLIAMS IN VIEW OF CHANCEY It is obvious to combine Williams (1:11-3) and Chancey (1:12-14) as both deal with tracking data in credit card transactions. Williams (13:48-50) discloses exporting transaction data from a GUI to Quicken and Chancey (2:64-3:2) is an improvement Quicken®. One of skill in the art would be motivated to have the -15- Williams data exported to the improved version of Quicken described in Chancey. Another reason both are related is that transactions over a network are described in both Williams (Internet, 19:22-26 ) and Chancey (modem, 2:4-10). Also, Williams shows a memo field for an online transaction, and Chancey shows explicitly prompting the user to enter a category code. One of skill in the art would understand that a “memo” ficld would commonly be used to record a transaction type, or category, and thus would be motivated to incorporate the category and prompt of Chancey into Williams as a matter of design choice to categorize the transaction before exporting it to Quicken, rather than afterward. In fact, exactly this was shown in Wells, which was filed prior to the priority date of the °720 Patent and assigned to the owner of Quicken. Wells discloses a website with a GUI that captures online transaction information, in which the user selects a category 416, stores the transaction data in a database 127, then downloads the data to a personal finance application, specifically Quicken. “Thus, for example, transaction information associated with an Internet purchase can be automatically uploaded from the vendor's web-site to database 127. If this occurs, then the transaction information will have been, at least substantially instantaneously, uploaded to database 127 without any additional effort or expense on the purchaser's part.” Wells 8:49-55 (emphasis added). -16- “the financial profile information stored within database 127 can be utilized. The fact that client computer, 106 delivers financial profile information each time it establishes connection with server 121 ensures that the financial profile of the database always corresponds with that of the user's personal finance application ....” Wells 15:22- 28 (emphasis added). “The preferred personal finance application for use in the present invention is Quicken® ....” Wells 8:1-3 (emphasis added). “With initial reference to FIG. 4(b), it will be appreciated that text entry window 402' is identical to text entry window 402 of FIG. (a) except that the Account and Category fields are slightly modified. In this case, window 402' displays a category list 417 which is part of the financial profile information provided to server 121. Thus, category list 417 preferably corresponds with the category list of user, 's 124 personal finance application, 118". Upon selection of Category field 416', a drop-down window displaying category list 417 appears and user, 124 can select one of categories listed.” Wells 13:57-67 (emphasis added) Enter now transactions into Quicken auickenaccounr “3 TPE [Checking vy} [Payment T¥] “406 08 -a1c ~ DATE PAYEE awount ~~ *"? cance] 414 a6 es catecory 418 Bo MEMO Bonus (neame) Div income (income) or Git Receive (income) a inteestinc income) | | -——~ az Ente Trans} invest inc (income) ter ne Gece) Salay (income) Aut expense) AuttFuel (expense) Auicinsurance (expense) [] FIG. 4b Thus, Wells demonstrates that it would have been obvious to combine. The obviousness to combine is further supported by the Shamos Declaration, {{] 63-68 and 106-113. Claim 1. The first element of claim 1, after the preamble, sets forth the “personal financial management application .”. One example in the ‘720 Patent is Quicken (“The personal financial management program could be Quicken ...” ‘720 Patent, Col. 3, Il. 7-8; see also claim 3 below). Williams shows such a management application in Fig. 20, and also mentions Quicken as an alternative. eke Dyor 8,132,720 1. A financial management system configured to transmit a set of transaction data, the finan management system comprising: Prior Art (emphasis added) “An electronic monetary system provides for transactions utilizing an electronic-monetary system that emulates a wallet or a purse that is customarily used for keeping money, credit cards and other forms of payment organized.” Williams, Abstract. “Pressing the accept button 1140 signals the user's acceptance of the transaction, and it records the transaction data into the wallet's register [financial management program] ....” Williams 31:14-17. “In an alternative embodiment of the Register and Report functions described above, a separate financial application program, such as Quicken, could he utilized =...” Williams 36:16-18. [al a personal financial management application configured to store personal financial management application transaction data including purchase amount data, purchase date data, payee data, and card identification data, and This element is provided either by the built in register function, or separately by the referenced Quicken program. Since Quicken is referenced as an example, Patent Owner has admitted it has the referenced data. “FIG. 20 is a register display in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The register display lists all transactions in chronological order and allows a user to navigate through and examiner [sic] transactions associated with a wallet.” Williams 33:5-9; see id. Fig. 20. “The register detail display allows a user to view or examine all of the specific details of a transaction.” Williams 33:53-55. “In an alternative embodiment for the Register and Report functions described above, a separate financial application program, such as Quicken, could be utilized as a helper application with the intemet program.” Williams 36:16-19. “Data export is also provided to the following financial programs: Quicken, Microsoft Money and Managing your money.” Williams 18:40-42. -19- Williams discloses a “total [purchase] amount” [Fig. 11], | [purchase] “date 2080” [33:46], “merchant [payee] 1120” [Fig. 11], “card type data entry field 1760 ... associated card number entry ficld 1780” [card identification data)” | Williams 32:19- The next element of claim | sets forth the financial assistant with a GUI with fields for the transaction data. This is shown by the Williams clectronic wallet, and the GUI of Fig. 11, below, for example. The GUI of Fig. 11 of Williams is generated during the online transaction, before user acceptance. The GUI of Fig. 12 is the paid receipt, generated when the accept button is pressed. The accept button also downloads the transaction data to the register. As can be seen, the data is the same as Fig. 11, and clearly is “at the conclusion of an online transaction” since the purchaser has already pressed the “accept” button.

Claims 2-7. The elements of these claims are shown in the claim chart below. Claim 2 further sets forth that the GUI shows a payment card ID (e, credit card number). This is clearly shown in the Williams wallet. Claim 3 sets forth that the financial management program is Quicken, also shown in Williams. Claims 4-6 set forth various aspects of using a web browser: the “context” is a browser (claim 4), the financial assistant is “part of” a browser (claim 5), and the browser renders the GUI. All these uses of a browser are shown by Williams, and the ‘720 Patent does not show how a browser is used in other than its ordinary manner. Claim 7 says the GUI prompts the user to select “one of a number of predetermined categories.” The display of the Williams memo field is itself a in view of Chancey ta select one of prompt, and it would be obvious to modify i the predetermined categories. Chancey shows such a prompting and selection, and it would be obvious to do so before loading into Quicken. As described in Chancey, Quicken is designed to receive merchant category codes and assign them to a category, so reception of the category itself is clearly equivalent.

Claim 12 is an independent claim similar to claim 1, except it recites a “reminder” and eliminates most of the details of the GUI fields, except for the category field. As noted above under claim construction, the claims when presented were characterized as “substantially the same” as the parent patent claims. Thus, the “reminder” is simply the presentation of the GUI for a transaction, which “reminds” the user to enter a category and download it to the financial management program (e.g, Quicken). Accordingly, claim 12 is shown by Williams and Chancey for the same reason as discussed above and show in the chart below. Claim 13 sets forth that the items in the transaction are captured (as a receipt would). This is shown by the itemization in Fig. 11 of Williams. Claims 14-17 recite the use of Quicken and uses of a browser, similar to claims 3-6, and are invalid for the same reasons discussed above. Claim 18 is similar to claim 7, prompting selection of a category, and is cbvious for the same reasons set forth above with respect to claim 7. Claim 19 is an independent claim similar to claim 12, using the “reminder” language, and sctting forth in the last clement that the items in the transaction are shown, similar to claim 13. Accordingly, claim 19 is invalid for the same reasons as claim 13. Dependent claim 20 simply adds back in the other fields of the GUI, as set forth in claim 1, that were left out of claims 12 and 19.

GROUND 2: CLAIMS 8-10 ARE OBVIOUS IN VIEW OF WILLIAMS, CHANCEY AND SCHRADER Dependent claims 8 and 10 set forth a list of merchants and categories based on previous selections (claim 8) and a suggested category for the merchant if there has been a prior association of the merchant with a category (claim 10). While Williams shows a list of merchant names, Chancey shows assigning the transaction/merchant to a previously associated category. Schrader explicitly shows a merchant list. Since Willams downloads to Quicken, and both Chancey and Schrader are Intuit patents describing improvements to Quicken, it would be obvious to combine the three. In addition, both Williams and Schrader recite a list of merchants, and Schrader recites categories for merchants, so it would be obvious to provide a list of both merchants and categories. See also Shamos Declaration ut $]72-75. al im 9. Claim 9 recites prompting the user to select a category. As described above with respect to claim 1, tke provision of the “memo” field prompts a user to enter something, most likely an expense category or other characterization of the transaction. To the extent this isn’t explicit, Chancey shows prompting to enter a category, and it would be obvious to combine Chancey with Williams as discussed above. 8.

GROUND 3: CLAIMS 1-7, 11-12 AND 14-18 ARE OBVIOUS OVER SCHUTZER IN VIEW OF CHANCEY Schutzer is a Citibank patent describing “the use of computerized intelligent agents to facilitate the integration of networked performance of financial transactions with computerized methods 0° financial accounting.” Schutzer, Abstract. Schutzer is directed to online bill payment and stock purchases (4:27- 29), which are online transactions. Schutzer, like Williams, expressly discloses transmitting data to Quicken (15:49-52). Thus, it is obvious to combine Schutzer with Chancey for the same reasons as discussed above for combining with Williams. Schutzer shows a GUI with transaction information, and shows a category field, the display of which is a prompt to the user, and it would be obvious to add the explicit category prompt of Chancey. Also, both Schutzer and Chancey describe transactions over a network and additional information to a transaction GUI (e.g., Schutzer 14:14-16 and 15:49-52; Chancey 2:4-10). See also Shamos Declaration at 4982-86. Claim 1. The first element of claim 1, after the preamble, sets forth the “personal financial management application .” One example in the ‘720 Patent is -38- Quicken (“The personal financial management program could be Quicken ...” “720 Patent, Col. 3, II. 7-8; see also claim 3 below). Schutzer describes a financial planner, such as Quicken. The next element of claim | sets forth the financial assistant with a GUI with fields for the transaction data. This is shown by the Schutzer GUI of Figs. 8 and 24 as described in the claim chart below, for example, including a category field. Fig. 8 shows payment reminder window automatically populated with transaction data, while Fig. 24 shows a payment window with blank fields for the user to complete. Schutzer describes exporting the data to Quicken, which necessarily happens after conclusion of the online transaction. See Shamos Declaration at 78.

The user can select OK 125 to automatically make the payment or Cancel 126 to not make the payment.” Schutzer 13:42-46." “In FIG. 24, if the user selects the Payment button 313, a pop-up window 340 appears, as shown in FIG. 27. This window 340 allows the- user to input information about From Account 341, Payee Name 34?, Amount 343, Date 344, and Category 345 in order to make a one-time payment.

This is shown by Schutzer with the reference to default information being provided. The provision of default information necessarily -40- requires the population of the GUI so the use can see the default information. It is inherent that executable code would be required do this. See Shamos Declaration 179.

Schutzer shows the “downloading” and “transferring” to the “financial software application.” Fig. 8 shows an “OK” button, which one of skill in the art would recognize as initiating the download. The downloaded data can be imported to a “financial planner, such as Quicken.” It would be an obvious matter of design choice to instead have these two steps combined, so that the OK button downloads and imports the information to the financial planner. It is inherent that executable code is used to perform this described function in Williams.

The user can then import information from the system into the planner.” Schutzer 15:49-52. “As shown in FIG. 8, a window 120 appears containing information about From Account 121, Payee Name 122, | Amount 123, and Date due 124. The user can select OK [accept button] 125 to automatically make the payment or Cancel 126 to not make the payment.” Schutzer 13:42-46 Dependent claims 2-11. The elements of these claims are shown in the claim chart Claim: . below. Claim 2 further sets forth that the GUI shows a payment card ID (e.g., credit card number). Schutzer refers to an account, without specifying a credit card account. However, Chancey specifies that the accounts can include a credit card account. Since Schutzer refers to Quicken as a financial planner to which the data can be downloaded, and Chancey describes Quicken, it would be obvious to include a credit card account in the types of accounts supported by Schutzer. See Shamos Declaration at ]82-86. Claim 3 sets forth that the financial management program is Quicken, also shown in Schutzer. Claims 4-6 sct forth various aspects of using a web browser: the “context” is a browser (claim 4), the financial assistant is “part of” a browser (claim 5), and the browser “renders” the GUI. All these uses are standard uses ofa browser, and a browser is described as used by Schutzer. The ‘720 Patent does not show how a browser is used in other than its ordinary manner. See Shamos Declaration at {18-20 and 40. Claim 7 says the GUI prompts the user to select “one of a number of predetermined categories.” Schutzer describes providing a category field to be completed by a user, and separately shows a list of categories, which are the “predetermined categories.” The display of the categories is itself'a prompt. It is inherent that the list would be associated with the category field, and alternately it would be an obvious design choice to do so. Also, it would be obvious to combine it in view of Chancey to select one of the predetermined categories. Chancey shows such a prompting and selection, and it would be obvious to do so before loading into Quicken. As described in Chancey, Quicken is designed to receive merchant category codes and assign them to a category, so reception of the category itself is clearly equivalent. See Shamos Declaration at $957-62 and 82-86. Claim 11. Claim 11 says the transaction data comes from a merchant server which has code to process the transaction. Schutzer describes Financial institution servers providing the data, which are “merchants” for stock transactions, which arc also described in Schutzer. It is inherent that the financial institution (merchant) web server has executable code to process the transaction. See Shamos Declaration at {76-81 Dyor 8,132,720 Prior Art (emphasis added) | 2.

Claims 12, 14-20. Claim 12 is an independent claim similar to claim 1, except it recites a “reminder” and eliminates most of the details of the GUI fields, except for the category field. As noted above under claim construction, the claims when presented were characterized as “substantially the same” as the parent patent claims. Thus, the “reminder” is simply the presentation of the GUI for a tran: ion, which “reminds” the user to enter a category and download it to the financial management program (¢.g., Quicken). Accordingly, claim 12 is shown by Schutzer and Chancey for the same reason as discussed above. In addition, Schutzer separately shows the use of reminders, such as in Fig. 7 - 46 - Claims 14-17 recite the use of Quicken and uses of a browser, similar to claims 3-6, and are invalid for the same reasons discussed above. Claim 18 is similar to claim 7, prompting selection of a category, and is obvious for the same reasons set forth above with respect to claim 7. Claim 19 is an independent claim similar to claim 12, using the “reminder” language, and setting forth in the last element the items in the transaction are shown, similar to claim 13. Accordingly, claim 19 is invalid for the same reasons as claim 13, Dependent claim 20 simply adds back in the other fields of the GUI, as set forth in claim 1, that were left out of claims 12 and 19. Thus, claim 20 is invalid for the same reasons as claim | as set forth above.

GROUND 4: CLAIMS 8-10 ARE OBVIOUS OVER SCHUTZER IN VIEW OF CHANCEY AND SCHRADER Dependent claims 8 and 10 set forth a list of merchants and categories based on previous selections (claim 8) and a suggested category for the merchant if there has been a prior association of the merchant with a category (claim 10). Schutzer shows a list of payees and a list of categories, and describes allowing the user to change the category associated with a payee. ‘Thus, the category must have been previously associated with a previous selection. Chancey more clearly shows assigning the transaction/merchant to a previously associated category. As described above, since Schutzer references Quicken, and Chancey is an Intuit patent describing improvements to Quicken, it would be obvious to combine. See also Shamos Declaration at 487. Claim 9. Claim 9 recites that the web browser “provides a suggested name [category, see Ground | discussion] based on the name of the merchant.” It would be obvious to combine Schutzer with Chancey, for the reasons described above, to provide suggested categories based on a merchant category code. Also, it would be obvious to do so before loading into Quicken. Chancey describes “assigning the transaction to a category already associated with the payee,” which is suggesting a category. Since the user can change the category, as described above, this is clearly a suggestion. -51- yor 8,132,720 Prior Art (emphasis added) 8.

GROUND 5: CLAIM 13 AND 19-20 ARE OBVIOUS OVER SCHUTZER IN VIEW OF CHANCEY, MAKIPAA AND TANNENBAUM Claims 13 and 19 set forth that the izems in the transaction are captured (as a receipt would). This is shown by the electronic receipt of Makipaa, cited by Patent Owner in an IDS. The citation by Patent Owner recognizes that Makip& would be an obvious place to look for more details on such a transaction system. Since Schutzer captures electronic transaction information for a user’s records, with Makipaa providing more detail, it would hz obvious to combine the two. In particular, Makipaa explicitly describes the electronic receipt information being provided to Quicken, just as in the ‘720 Patent. Also, Mikipii, like Schutzer, describes transactions over the internet. Additionally, Tannenbaum also shows an itemization for a transaction with the use of a network (modem), and providing it to Quicken, thus it would be obvious to combine Tannenbaum with either Schutzer or Makipii. See also Shamos Declaration at 988-105. Claims 19 and 20 set forth additional elements similar to elements of claims 1 and 12, already discussed above, and as referenced in the claim chart helow.
