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 09/05/2023, 04/07/2025, 07/16/2025, 10/10/2025, and 02/12/2026. The submission is in compliance with the provisions of 37 CFR 1.97. Accordingly, the information disclosure statement is being considered by the examiner. Specification The abstract of the disclosure is objected to because it should avoid using phases which can be implied, such as, “This disclosure concerns”, “The disclosure defined by this invention”, “This disclosure describes”, “is disclosed”, “are disclosed”, “ the invention relates to ” etc. Correction is required. See MPEP 608.01 (b). In this case , the present abstract filed on 07/05/2023, the phrase “the present disclosure” should avoid of using. 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. Claims 1-17 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) , as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which applicant regards as the invention. In claim 1 : The limitation “ an area ratio of a η-Zn phase ”, is indefinite because it is unclear what “ an area ratio of a η-Zn phase ” is ; and The limitation “ Al composition ”, is indefinite because it is unclear what “ Al composition ” is. In claims 5-6 and 12-17 : the limitation “ the vehicle” as cited in line 2, is indefinite because lack of antecedent basis. Correction is required. Double Patenting The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially created doctrine grounded in public policy (a policy reflected in the statute) so as to prevent the unjustified or improper timewise extension of the “right to exclude” granted by a patent and to prevent possible harassment by multiple assignees. A nonstatutory double patenting rejection is appropriate where the claims at issue are not identical, but at least one examined application claim is not patentably distinct from the reference claim(s) because the examined application claim is either anticipated by, or would have been obvious over, the reference claim(s). See, e.g., In re Berg , 140 F.3d 1428, 46 USPQ2d 1226 (Fed. Cir. 1998); In re Goodman , 11 F.3d 1046, 29 USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Longi , 759 F.2d 887, 225 USPQ 645 (Fed. Cir. 1985); In re Van Ornum , 686 F.2d 937, 214 USPQ 761 (CCPA 1982); In re Vogel , 422 F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); and In re Thorington , 418 F.2d 528, 163 USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969). A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(c) or 1.321(d) may be used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on a nonstatutory double patenting ground provided the reference application or patent either is shown to be commonly owned with this application, or claims an invention made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. A terminal disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(b). The USPTO internet Web site contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be used. Please visit http://www.uspto.gov/forms/. The filing date of the application will determine what form should be used. A web-based eTerminal Disclaimer may be filled out completely online using web-screens. An eTerminal Disclaimer that meets all requirements is auto-processed and approved immediately upon submission.

Claims 1-17 are provisionally rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 1-18 of copending Application No. 18271349 . Although the claims at issue are not identical , such as an area ratio of a η-Zn phase of present application is difference with an area ratio of a MgZn.sub.2 of the copending application 18271349 … see the table below. However they are not patentably distinct from each other because the claimed subject matter of the present applicant and that of copending Application No. 18271349 are substantially the same and the claimed subject matter of the present application would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art substitute an area ratio of a η-Zn phase of the present application, by using an area ratio of a MgZn.sub.2 phase , as taught by copending Application No. 18271349 , in order to provide improvement regarding achievement of both inhibition of LME cracking and securing of corrosion resistance in welded joints [Par.0007, copending Application No. 18271349 ] .
