Yoo is silent regarding first and second segment comprised of a multi-strand outer layer that surrounds a multi-strand inner layer. Further, while Yoo’s figure appears to illustrate a securement forming lattice net of substantially parallel segments, Yoo is silent regarding specifics of the securement. Yoo does not illustrate details of a forming a net using a single, continuous rope where a first segment of a single, continuous net rope transitions into a second segment of a single continuous net rope at a loop formed at a perimeter of a net lattice.
In the same field of endeavor, Rope Camp Product catalog teaches playground devices formed using rope formed of a multi-strand (braided) outer layer that surrounds a multi-strand (compound wire rope) inner layer (see Rope Camp Product catalog page 10-11 where vibrant threads to weave a braid around 144 strands of galvanized steel to produce the play structure rope.

Consider claim 7, Yoo as modified by Rope Camp, 2021YouTube and Park teaches all the limitations of claim 1 and further teaches wherein the multi-stranded inner layer is comprised of a material that absorbs heat more quickly than any material included in the multi-stranded outer layer (inherent steel has a thermal conductivity that is greater than nylon thus steel absorbs heat more quickly than nylon. The high thermal conductivity of steel means that when one part of it is exposed to a heat source, that energy is rapidly distributed throughout the material, leading to a quick overall temperature increase. Nylon's low thermal conductivity causes heat to remain more localized, making it much slower to absorb and distribute heat. Further steel is a conductor whereas nylon is an insulator).

Response to Arguments
Applicant’s arguments with respect to the claim(s) have been considered but are moot because the new ground of rejection does not rely on any reference applied in the prior rejection of record for any teaching or matter specifically challenged in the argument.
Regarding Applicant’s assertion that the combined teachings of Yoo and Park teaches away from using their respective lattices as a climbing surfaces, Examiner respectfully disagrees because neither specifically indicates that their lattices cannot be used as climbing surfaces. Further as clearly illustrated by Rope Camp, rope lattices are used as climbing surfaces for playground equipment.
The test for obviousness is not whether the features of a secondary reference may be bodily incorporated into the structure of the primary reference; nor is it that the claimed invention must be expressly suggested in any one or all of the references. Rather, the test is what the combined teachings of the references would have suggested to those of ordinary skill in the art. See In re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 208 USPQ 871 (CCPA 1981).
In response to applicant's arguments against the references individually, one cannot show nonobviousness by attacking references individually where the rejections are based on combinations of references. See In re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 208 USPQ 871 (CCPA 1981); In re Merck & Co., 800 F.2d 1091, 231 USPQ 375 (Fed. Cir. 1986).
Conclusion
The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure. Rhodes et al, U.S. Patent Publication No. 3745771 (column 2, line1-5 where a two-dimensional series of squares or diamonds and joining the strands at cross-over points. Joining may be effected by binding, welding or glueing, by means of clips or if sufficiently flexible by knotting as in net manufacture).Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. See MPEP § 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a).
A shortened statutory period for reply to this final action is set to expire THREE MONTHS from the mailing date of this action. In the event a first reply is filed within TWO MONTHS of the mailing date of this final action and the advisory action is not mailed until after the end of the THREE-MONTH shortened statutory period, then the shortened statutory period will expire on the date the advisory action is mailed, and any nonprovisional extension fee (37 CFR 1.17(a)) pursuant to 37 CFR 1.136(a) will be calculated from the mailing date of the advisory action. In no event, however, will the statutory period for reply expire later than SIX MONTHS from the mailing date of this final action.
