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 .
Response to Arguments
Applicant's arguments filed 12/17/2025 have been fully considered but they are not persuasive. [.
The abstract of the disclosure is objected to because it contains a number at the beginning “[0182]” at line 1 at the beginning of the abstract..
A corrected abstract of the disclosure is required and must be presented on a separate sheet, apart from any other text. See MPEP § 608.01(b).
The Applicant’s argument and the Examiner’s response:
The applicant’s representative argues that the 35 USC 112(a) rejection is in error. Applicant’s
representative refers the Examiner to most notably figure 3 of their drawing as support for their claimed invention.
In response, figure 3 fails to show, illustrate or recite the claimed:
“provide temporal-fill asset datastructure to the temporal-quantum-limited asset request user interface, in which temporal-fill asset datastructure includes an asset identifier, and a temporal-quantum value, in which temporal-fill asset datastructure is structured as including a trigger for the temporal- quantum-limited asset request user interface, in which the temporal-quantum-limited asset request user interface is structured as employing the trigger for temporal-quantum-fill countdown user interface display element; obtain a temporal-fill asset request dastastructure from the triggered temporal-quantum-limited asset request user interface, determine if temporal-fill asset request datastructure was obtained prior to expiration of the countdown user interface display element, and if obtainment was prior to the expiration, secure obtainment of an asset identified in the temporal-fill asset request datastructure”.
A detailed explanation of these claimed features is not provided or adequately described in the specification as to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention as claimed.
The claims also fail to provide enabling means or steps for performing these functions.
The prior 35 USC 112 rejection is repeated below.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112(a):
(a) IN GENERAL.—The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor or joint inventor of carrying out the invention.
The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112:
The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention.
Claims 1-8 remain rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), first paragraph, as failing to comply with the enablement requirement. The claim(s) contains subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to enable one skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and/or use the invention.
The specification still fails to provide a detailed or clear explanation of how to make and use the claimed functions of: "query a quantum-limited asset cache with temporal-quantum-limited asset request datastructure and the temporal-fill parameters datastructures, provide temporal-fill asset datastructure to the temporal-quantum-limited asset request user interface, in which temporal-fill asset datastructure includes an asset identifier, and a temporal-quantum value, in which temporal-fill asset datastructure is structured as including a trigger for the temporal quantum- limited asset request user interface, in which the temporal-quantum-limited asset request user interface is structured as employing the trigger for temporal-quantum-fill countdown user interface element, obtain a temporal-fill asset request datastructure from the triggered temporal- quantum-limited asset request user interface".
The specification recites these claims, and fails to teach how to come up or enable these functions. These are essential elements needed to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and or use the invention. A detailed explanation of these claimed features is not provided or adequately described in the specification as to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention as claimed.
Claims 1-8 remain 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 pre-AIA the applicant regards as the invention.
Claims 1-8 remain rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph based on the rationale noted above.
Allowable Subject Matter
The following is an examiner's statement of reasons for allowance:
Claims 1-8 are allowable over the art of record.
The prior art taken alone or in combination failed to teach or suggest:
“query a quantum-limited asset cache with temporal-quantum-limited asset request data structure and the temporal-fill parameters data structures; provide temporal-fill asset data structure to the temporal-quantum-limited asset request user interface, in which temporal-fill asset data structure includes an asset identifier, and a temporal- quantum value, in which temporal-fill asset data structure is structured as including a trigger for the temporal- quantum-limited asset request user interface, in which the temporal-quantum-limited asset request user interface is structured as employing the trigger for temporal-quantum-fill countdown user interface display element; obtain a temporal-fill asset request data structure from the triggered temporal-quantum- limited asset request user interface, determine if temporal-fill asset request data structure was obtained prior to expiration of the countdown user interface display element, and if obtainment was prior to the expiration, secure obtainment of an asset identified in the temporal-fill asset request data structure", as recited in in independent claim 1 and as similarly recited in independent claims 3, 5 and 7.
The above recited limitations provide meaningful limitations that transforms the abstract idea into patent eligible. The claim as a whole effects an improvement to another technology or technical field. These limitations in combination provide meaningful limitations beyond generally linking the use of the abstract idea to a practical application.
THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. 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.
