CTNF 18/461,772 CTNF 94960 DETAILED ACTION Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status 07-03-aia AIA 15-10-aia The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. Continued Examination Under 37 CFR 1.114 07-42-04 AIA A request for continued examination under 37 CFR 1.114, including the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(e), was filed in this application after final rejection. Since this application is eligible for continued examination under 37 CFR 1.114, and the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(e) has been timely paid, the finality of the previous Office action has been withdrawn pursuant to 37 CFR 1.114. Applicant's submission filed on 04/10/2026 has been entered. Response to Arguments Applicant’s Amendments and Arguments filed 04/10/2026 have been considered for examination. With regard to the 103 rejections, Applicant’s arguments filed 04/10/2026 in view of the amendments have been fully considered but are not persuasive at least in view of reasons set forth below. On pages 9-10 of Remarks with respect to claims 1 and 14, Applicant argued: However, the RAN paging message forwarded by the relay UE in Wei is not the same as, and does not teach or suggest "receive a wake-up signal from a network entity and via a cellular connection," as recited in amended independent claim 1. Instead, the remote communications device of Wei has moved beyond the cellular coverage area (and actively refrained from updating a connection) and therefore has no cellular connection with any network entity. See Wei ¶ [0108]. Instead, the remote communications device of Wei receives the RAN paging message exclusively through the relay UE-which is not "from a network entity" and not "via a cellular connection" as recited in amended independent claim 1. See Wei. ¶¶[0109]-[0l10]. Moreover, the data forwarded by the relay UE in Wei does not teach or suggest receiving a second message "in accordance with reception of the wake-up signal via the cellular connection," as recited in amended independent claim 1, at least because there is no reception of any signal "via a cellular connection" at the remote communications device of Wei. That is, because the remote communications device of Wei lacks any cellular connection, it cannot receive a wake-up signal "via a cellular connection," much less receive a second message "in accordance with reception of the wake-up signal via the cellular connection," as claimed. Thus, Wei does not teach or suggest "receive a wake-up signal from a network entity and via a cellular connection," and receiving a second message "in accordance with reception of the wake-up signal via the cellular connection," as recited in amended independent claim 1, or overcome the deficiencies of Liu. In response to the above Applicant’s argument, Examiner respectfully disagrees. 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). In order to establish prima facie obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103, Wei is only applied to cure deficiencies of Liu for “ the wake-up signal indicating that a first message is available via the cellular connection; and receive a second message via the non-cellular connection based at least in part on the operation of the wireless device in the connected mode with the UE, the second message comprising same information in the first message. ”, not for “receiving of the wake-up signal via the cellular connection ” since Liu already clearly teaches, “receive a wake-up signal from a network entity and via a cellular connection”, as set forth above. On pages 11-12 of Remarks with respect to claim 18, Applicant argued: However, a paging message containing a paging identity of the second communication device, as in Liu, is not the same as, and does not teach or suggest receiving, "after receiving the wake-up signal, a first message via a cellular connection with a network entity, the first message associated with the wireless device," as recited in amended independent claim 8. In Liu, there is no prior wake-up signal received before the paging message, much less a first message received "after receiving the wake-up signal" that "compris[ es] an indicator of the wireless device," as claimed. That is, Liu describes a single paging message that carries the paging identity of the second communication device, but does not describe any sequence in which a wake-up signal is first received and then a separate first message comprising an indicator of the wireless device is received after the wake-up signal. See Liu ¶¶[0060], [0064]-[0065]. Moreover, Liu does not describe the UE determining "to forward the first message to the wireless device as a second message based at least in part on the first message comprising the indicator of the wireless device," as recited in amended independent claim 8, at least because Liu does not describe any first message received after a wake-up signal. Instead, Liu merely describes the first communication device determining whether to forward the paging message based on the paging identity contained within that same paging message. See id ¶ [0064]. . . . Wei, Xiang, Tan, and Chhabra do not overcome the deficiencies of Liu, nor does the Office Action suggest otherwise. In response to the above Applicant’s argument, Examiner respectfully disagrees. Unlike the applicant’s argument above, the combination of Liu and Wei teaches, receiving, "after receiving the wake-up signal, a first message via a cellular connection with a network entity. Although Liu does not explicitly disclose (see, italicized limitations), but Wei discloses, receiving, "after receiving the wake-up signal, a first message via a cellular connection with a network entity [FIG. 11; its related descriptions; After Relay 404 receives RAN paging 510 (S988), it receives data 512 via RRC connection mode (S988) with old BS 201] . On page 12 of Remarks, Applicant argued: Dependent claims 2-7, 9-13, and 15-20 each depend from one of independent claims 1, 8, and 14 and are therefore allowable for at least the same reasons that independent claims 1, 8, and 14 are allowable. Dependent claims 2-7, 9-13, and 15-20 also recite allowable features that have not been shown to be taught or suggested by Liu, Wei, Xiang, Tan, and Chhabra, alone or in any combination. Accordingly, for at least these reasons, Applicant requests that the rejection of dependent claims 2-7, 9-13, and 15-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 be reconsidered and withdrawn In response to the above Applicant’s argument, Examiner respectfully disagrees. Since claims 1, 8 and 14 are unpatentable over the cited references of record as set forth above, patentability of other dependent claims should be determined based on the claimed limitations recited thereon, rather than their respective independent claims. The dependent claims are also unpatentable in view of the corresponding cited references of records as set forth below. Claim Objections Claims 8-13 are objected to because of the following informality: Claim 8 recites, “the wake-up signal corresponding to a first message” (line 9). It is suggested to replace it with “the wake-up signal indicating that a first message is available via the cellular connection” to conform with the specification (see ¶0093). Claim 8 recites, “ . . . a first message via a cellular connection with a network entity, the first message associated with the wireless device comprising an indicator of the wireless device;” (lines 10-12). It is suggested to replace it with “. . . the first message via the cellular connection with the network entity, the first message associated with the wireless device comprising the indicator of the wireless device;” for more clarity. Claim 11 recites, “ . . . an indicator of the wireless device,” (line 5). It is suggested to replace it with “. . . the indicator of the wireless device,” for more clarity. Claims 9-13 are also objected to since they are directly or indirectly dependent upon the objected claim 8, as set forth above. Appropriate correction is required.
