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 06/30/2025 have been fully considered but they are not persuasive. The Examiner appreciate the time and effort of the Applicant on the compact prosecution of this case. However, the amendments that “the radiator is configured to support a first resonant mode, wherein a first resonant current in the first resonant mode is at least distributed between the first ground point an the first coupling end and between the second coupling end and the second ground point, wherein a direction in which the first resonant current flows between the first ground point and the first coupling end is the same as a direction in which the first resonant current flows between the second coupling end and the second ground point” fails to put the application in condition for allowance. The Applicant further called this limitation “features”, however, this is an intended use limitation. It should be noted that to satisfy an intended use limitation that is restrictive, a prior art reference must disclose a structure or method that can perform the claimed function or result, even if the prior art reference doesn't explicitly state that intended use. The prior art needs to inherently possess the functional limitation, meaning a person skilled in the art would recognize that the prior art structure or method inherently achieves the claimed function. The amendment recites the radiator is configured for a first resonance and the flow of current within the antenna device. The prior art presents an identical structure as claimed and further recited the resonances obtainable by the antenna structure.
If further attempts are made to properly and completely define the invention, Applicant is advised to consider the paragraphs or columns and line numbers and/or figures in the references, as noted below. Although the specified citations are representative of the teachings of the art and are applied to specific limitations within the individual claim, other passages and figures may apply as well; and such passages and/or figures may be helpful to Applicant in preparing a response to this action.

In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.

In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
The text of those sections of Title 35, U.S. Code not included in this action can be found in a prior Office action.
