Summary
The invention related to a system for use with mobile telephone messaging services to help a user authenticate that a message was sent by a particular company. Upon receiving a request from a mobile receiver for a certificate from a particular sourcing entity, a logo corresponding to that sourcing entity was incorporated into the certificate along with decryption information. Once an encrypted entity digital signature had been decrypted by the mobile receiver to authenticate that the message was sent by a particular sourcing entity, the decrypted logo was presented to the user in conjunction with the message to provide visual authentication. The hearing officer considered the claims on file to comprise added subject matter and the contribution to relate to a computer program for a computer or presentation of information as such and therefore refused the application.
