DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Drawings
The drawings are objected to as failing to comply with 37 CFR 1.84(p)(5) because they do not include the following reference sign(s) mentioned in the description: drawings do not include FIG. 2A mentioned in the description in at least instant application specification as-filed [0045].
Corrected drawing sheets in compliance with 37 CFR 1.121(d) are required in reply to the Office action to avoid abandonment of the application. Any amended replacement drawing sheet should include all of the figures appearing on the immediate prior version of the sheet, even if only one figure is being amended. Each drawing sheet submitted after the filing date of an application must be labeled in the top margin as either “Replacement Sheet” or “New Sheet” pursuant to 37 CFR 1.121(d). If the changes are not accepted by the examiner, the applicant will be notified and informed of any required corrective action in the next Office action. The objection to the drawings will not be held in abeyance.
Specification
The disclosure is objected to because of the following informalities:
“…Various examples of such sensors that may be encompassed within the peripheral sensor set 100C include, but are not limited to, smartwatches fitness bands/trackers, sleep trackers, and heart rate monitors that may communicate with the computing device 100B via WiFi, Bluetooth and/or ANT+ protocols…” in instant application specification as-filed para.[0097] needs to be corrected. A suggested correction is --Various examples of such sensors that may be encompassed within the peripheral sensor set 100C include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, fitness bands/trackers, sleep trackers, and heart rate monitors that may communicate with the computing device 100B via WiFi, Bluetooth and/or ANT+ protocols--.
Appropriate correction is required.
The lengthy specification has not been checked to the extent necessary to determine the presence of all possible minor errors. Applicant's cooperation is requested in correcting any errors of which applicant may become aware in the specification.
Claim Objections
Following claims are objected to because of the following informalities:
Claim 11 lines 5 “the processor” needs to be corrected. A suggested correction is – the at least one processor – in order to maintain consistent claim terminology with its antecedent in claim 11 line 3 “at least one processor”.
Claims 3, 17 include numerous acronyms/abbreviations. At least first occurrence of each acronym/abbreviation should be spelled out in full. Appropriate correction is required.
Claim 1 “a method of emitting a light stimulus experience, comprising: receiving at least one of (i) environmental contextual data and (ii) personal contextual data … and controlling… one or more light emitters to administer a dosage of light to a user” needs to be corrected. A suggested correction to avoid any potential 35 U.S.C 101 subject-matter ineligibility issues that may arise under MPEP Patent Subject Matter Eligibility sections 2106.04(a) , 2106.04(d), 2106.05 i.e. claim as recited lends itself as a whole to a broad yet reasonable interpretation under MPEP 2111 as reciting a judicial exception when claim limitations individually and in combination are deemed as reciting for example abstract idea without reciting additional elements that integrate the judicial exception into a practical application of the judicial exception with the additional elements also not amounting to significant more than the judicial exception is as follows:
1. A method of emitting a light stimulus experience, comprising:
receiving, via at least one processor, at least one of (i) environmental contextual data and (ii) personal contextual data including biometric contextual data; and
controlling, via the at least one processor, based on the at least one of the environmental contextual data and the personal contextual data, one or more light emitters to administer a dosage of light to a user.
Appropriate correction is required.
Claim Interpretation
Claims terms where relevant are being interpreted in light of definitions enumerated in instant application specification as-filed [0028], [0071], [0159], [0183].
Please note that USPTO personnel are to give claims their broadest reasonable interpretation in light of the supporting disclosure. In re Morris, 127 F.3d 1048, 1054-55, 44 USPQ2d 1023, 1027-28 (Fed. Cir. 1997). Limitations appearing in the specification but not recited in the claim should not be read into the claim. E-Pass Techs., Inc. v. 3Com Corp., 343 F.3d 1364, 1369, 67 USPQ2d 1947, 1950 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (claims must be interpreted "in view of the specification" without importing limitations from the specification into the claims unnecessarily). In re Prater, 415 F.2d 1393, 1404-05, 162 USPQ 541, 550-551 (CCPA 1969). See also In re Zletz, 893 F.2d 319, 321-22, 13 USPQ2d 1320, 1322 (Fed. Cir. 1989) ("During patent examination the pending claims must be interpreted as broadly as their terms reasonably allow.... The reason is simply that during patent prosecution when claims can be amended, ambiguities should be recognized, scope and breadth of language explored, and clarification imposed.... An essential purpose of patent examination is to fashion claims that are precise, clear, correct, and unambiguous. Only in this way can uncertainties of claim scope be removed, as much as possible, during the administrative process.").
