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. Information Disclosure Statement The information disclosure statement (IDS) submitted on February 2, 2023 is in compliance with the provisions of 37 CFR 1.97. Accordingly, the information disclosure statement is being considered by the examiner. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112 The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b): (b ) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), second paragraph: The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the appl icant regards as his invention. Claim s 1 -20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor (or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant), regards as the invention. Claim 1 recites " two gripping assemblies " (line 11 on page 23 ) associated with the gripper base , " two moving assemblies " (line 21 ) associated with the gripper base, “two angle sensors” (line 10 on page 24) associated with the gripper base . The plural inclusion of " the corresponding gripping assembly " , “the two angle sensors”, “the two moving assemblies” could lead to confusion as to whether subsequent recitations of are one and the same. The same issue of multiple inclusion can be seen, for example, on claims 4-6 . For example, in claim 4, Applicant recites “ the two moving assemblies are respectively disposed at two sides of the driving assembly; and the two gripping assemblies are respectively disposed at the two sides of the driving assembly .” This appears to be unclear. Is it applicant’s intent ion to claim that each of th e two moving assemblies is disposed on each side of the driving assembly? Please note that this same issue also appears in claim 10 regarding “two axial guideway rays disposed at two sides of the driving screw rod”. Differentiation of the elements (e.g., a "first gripping assembly ", a " second gripping assembly ”, a “first angle sensor”, a “second angle sensor”, a “first moving assembly”, a “second moving assembly”, etc.) would further enhance the clarity of the claim. Allowable Subject Matter Claim 1 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejection(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), 2nd paragraph, set forth in this Office action. Claims 2-20 would be allowable if rewritten to overcome the rejection(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), 2nd paragraph, set forth in this Office action and to include all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims. Conclusion The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure. Kobayashi , Lomerson, Monforte, Davi, and O’Connor are cited as being relevant art, because each prior art discloses a gripper comprising a gripper base and a driving assembly.
