CTNF 18/509,267 CTNF 75451 DETAILED ACTION Brief Summary This is a non-final Office action regarding reissue U.S. Application 18/509,267 (hereafter the “reissue ‘267 Application”), which is a reissue application of U.S. Patent 11,398,941 (hereafter “the ‘941 Patent”). Upon review of the reissue ‘267 Application, the reissue application was filed on November 14, 2023. A reissue Declaration was received on November 14, 2023, January 23, 2024, and January 31, 2024, with each individually being signed by the three inventors of the ‘941 Patent. The ‘941 Patent originally issued on July 26, 2022, with original claims 1-20, being filed as U.S. Application 17/103,865 (hereafter “the original ’865 Application) on November 24, 2020. The original ‘865 Patent was filed as a continuation of U.S. Application 16/184,853, filed on November 8, 2018, now U.S. Patent 10,848,363, and claims domestic priority to provisional U.S. Application 62/584,108, filed on November 9, 2017. As noted above, the ‘941 Patent issued with claims 1-20. A preliminary amendment was filed on November 14, 2023, which amends original independent claims 1, 16, and 20, and adds new dependent claim 21. Thus, with the preliminary amendment dated November 14, 2023, claims 1-21 are pending, with claims 1, 16, and 20 being independent. 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. Reissue 14-11-01 AIA Applicant is reminded of the continuing obligation under 37 CFR 1.178(b), to timely apprise the Office of any prior or concurrent proceeding in which Patent No. 11,398,941 is or was involved. These proceedings would include interferences, reissues, reexaminations, and litigation. Applicant is further reminded of the continuing obligation under 37 CFR 1.56, to timely apprise the Office of any information which is material to patentability of the claims under consideration in this reissue application. These obligations rest with each individual associated with the filing and prosecution of this application for reissue. See also MPEP §§ 1404, 1442.01 and 1442.04. Non-Compliant Amendment The amendment dated November 14, 2023 does not comply with 37 CFR 1.173. In this regard, 37 CFR 1.173(d) states: (d) Changes shown by markings. Any changes relative to the patent being reissued which are made to the specification, including the claims, upon filing, or by an amendment paper in the reissue application, must include the following markings: (1) The matter to be omitted by reissue must be enclosed in brackets ; and (2) The matter to be added by reissue must be underlined , except for amendments submitted on compact discs (§§ 1.96 and 1.821(c))…. With this, the submitted amendment dated November 14, 2023 is not seen to include the proper markings to claims that are shown relative to the patent being reissued. Particularly, the amendments to claims 1, 16, and 20 each include double brackets to show deleted material. This is improper as the matter to be omitted should be single brackets. Additionally, new claim 21 is shown with no markings, but should be shown as completely underlined, since it is new, relative to the patent under reissue. Therefore, for the above reasons, the amendment dated November 14, 2023 does not comply with 37 CFR 1.173, which sets forth the manner of making amendments in reissue applications. A supplemental paper correctly amending the reissue application will be required. Defective Reissue Declaration and Rejection under 35 USC § 251 14-14 Claims 1-21 are rejected as being based upon a defective reissue declaration under 35 U.S.C. 251 as set forth above. See 37 CFR 1.175 . The nature of the defect(s) in the declaration is set forth in the discussion below in this Office action. With this, the reissue declarations filed on November 14, 2023, January 23, 2024, and January 31, 2024 are seen to be defective (see 37 CFR 1.175 and MPEP § 1414) because of the following: the Applicant has not sufficiently identified the error which is relied on to support the reissue application, as the Declarations state “Independent claims 1, 15, 23, and 27 have been amended for clarity and omitted subject matter claimed in new claim 21.” Here, however, claims 1, 16, and 20 of the ‘941 Patent are the only independent claims, and are each currently amended, with the pending claims being claims 1-21. Thus, the statement in the declarations is not clear what exactly the error relied on for the reissue application actually is. There is not a claim 23, nor a claim 27, and claim 15 was not amended, and is not independent. With this, the Applicant’s error statement is not clear what the specific error that the reissue is being relied on. Double Patenting 08-33 AIA 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 conflicting claims 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); 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 nonstatutory double patenting provided the reference application or patent either is shown to be commonly owned with the examined application, or claims an invention made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. See MPEP § 717.02 for applications subject to examination under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA as explained in MPEP § 2159. See MPEP § 2146 et seq. for applications not subject to examination under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. A terminal disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(b). The filing of a terminal disclaimer by itself is not a complete reply to a nonstatutory double patenting (NSDP) rejection. A complete reply requires that the terminal disclaimer be accompanied by a reply requesting reconsideration of the prior Office action. Even where the NSDP rejection is provisional the reply must be complete. See MPEP § 804, subsection I.B.1. For a reply to a non-final Office action, see 37 CFR 1.111(a). For a reply to final Office action, see 37 CFR 1.113(c). A request for reconsideration while not provided for in 37 CFR 1.113(c) may be filed after final for consideration. See MPEP §§ 706.07(e) and 714.13. The USPTO Internet website contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be used. Please visit www.uspto.gov/patent/patents-forms. The actual filing date of the application in which the form is filed determines what form (e.g., PTO/SB/25, PTO/SB/26, PTO/AIA/25, or PTO/AIA/26) should be used.

With this, regarding independent claims 1, 16, and 20 of the instant ‘267 application, as shown above, claims 1, 17, and 36 of the Akkarakaran’363 Patent recite limitations very similar to those found in the instant claims 1, 16, and 20. However, the Akkarakaran’363 Patent recites receiving both “a time division multiplexing scheme and a frequency division multiplexing scheme”, therein lacking the specific recitation of “determining whether a transmission over the BWP of the carrier is frequency division multiplexed…, wherein the transmission is frequency division multiplexed if the first SCS is the same as the second SCS and the transmission is not frequency division multiplexed if the first SCS is different than the second SCS; and receiving the transmission over the BWP of the carrier based at least in part on determining whether the transmission is frequency division multiplexed with the synchronization signal block.” But the reference of Jung teaches a method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) [see Abstract, wherein “Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for synchronization signal block selection.”; also see Fig. 2 and paragraphs 0039-0041], comprising: receiving a synchronization signal block for a carrier, the synchronization signal block associated with synchronization signal block transmission attributes comprising a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) [see Figs. 5 and 6; also see paragraphs 0064-0065; also see paragraphs 0068-0069, wherein “”; also see paragraph 0076, wherein “The method 700 may include receiving 702 multiple synchronization signal blocks on a first wideband carrier. In such an embodiment, each synchronization signal block of the multiple synchronization signal blocks includes at least one synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel.”]; identifying one or more bandwidth part (BWP) transmission attributes for transmissions within a BWP of the carrier, the one or more BWP transmission attributes comprising a second SCS [see paragraphs 0068-0069, wherein “In various embodiments, if a connected mode UE is configured with a single BWP SCS which is different from a SCS of SS blocks (that may be predefined for a corresponding frequency band), SS blocks may not be transmitted on that BWP, but may be transmitted on another BWP configured with an SCS the same as the SCS of the SS block.”; also see paragraph 0076, wherein “In certain embodiments, the method 700 includes detecting 704 at least one synchronization signal block of the multiple synchronization signal blocks.”]; determining whether a transmission over the BWP of the carrier is frequency division multiplexed with the synchronization signal block based at least in part on the first SCS and the second SCS [see paragraph 0035, wherein “In one implementation, the wireless communication system 100 is compliant with the 3GPP protocol, wherein the network unit 104 transmits using an OFDM modulation scheme on the DL and the remote units 102 transmit on the UL using a SC-FDMA scheme or an OFDM scheme.”; also see paragraph 0069, wherein “In some embodiments, if all frequency parts within a wideband carrier adopt an SCS (e.g., 120 kHz) different from an SCS (e.g., 240 kHz) of SS blocks, the SS blocks of one SS burst set of the wideband carrier may be time-multiplexed or time/frequency-multiplexed with data and control channels of the different SCS (e.g., 120 kHz) within a frequency part. In certain embodiments, if a UE is configured with at least one BWP including SS blocks, the UE may not need to retune LO, but may adjust operational subcarrier spacing (and potentially sampling rate) for SS block based measurements. In such embodiments, during SS block measurement the UE may not be able to receive data and control channels unless the UE supports simultaneous operation of two subcarrier spacings.”; also see paragraph 0076, wherein “In some embodiments, the method 700 includes determining 706 at least one synchronization signal frequency associated with the at least one detected synchronization signal block. In various embodiments, the method 700 includes selecting 708 a first synchronization signal block of the at least one detected synchronization signal block and a first synchronization signal frequency of the at least one synchronization signal frequency. In such embodiments, the first synchronization signal block is associated with the first synchronization signal frequency.”], wherein the transmission is frequency division multiplexed …and the transmission is not frequency division multiplexed if the first SCS is different than the second SCS [see paragraph 0058; also see paragraphs 0068-0069, wherein “In some embodiments, if all frequency parts within a wideband carrier adopt an SCS (e.g., 120 kHz) different from an SCS (e.g., 240 kHz) of SS blocks, the SS blocks of one SS burst set of the wideband carrier may be time-multiplexed or time/frequency-multiplexed with data and control channels of the different SCS (e.g., 120 kHz) within a frequency part. In certain embodiments, if a UE is configured with at least one BWP including SS blocks, the UE may not need to retune LO, but may adjust operational subcarrier spacing (and potentially sampling rate) for SS block based measurements. In such embodiments, during SS block measurement the UE may not be able to receive data and control channels unless the UE supports simultaneous operation of two subcarrier spacings.”; also see paragraph 0079, wherein “In certain embodiments, the method 700 includes, in response to determining to reselect the first synchronization signal block, reselecting a second synchronization signal block of the at least one detected synchronization signal block and a second synchronization signal frequency of the at least one synchronization signal frequency. In such embodiments, the second synchronization signal block is associated with the second synchronization signal frequency. In some embodiments, determining whether to reselect the first synchronization signal block is based on a subcarrier spacing value indicated in the first physical broadcast channel. This may be useful in conditions in which multiple frequency bands, each of which supports a different set of subcarrier spacing values, have an overlapping spectrum and/or in conditions in which a remote unit 102 has no prior knowledge on a frequency band associated with a detected synchronization signal block. In some embodiments, a remote unit 102 may not support a certain SCS due to a certain configured carrier aggregation combination.”]; and receiving the transmission over the BWP of the carrier based at least in part on determining whether the transmission is frequency division multiplexed with the synchronization signal block [see paragraph 0079; also see paragraphs 0110-0119]. Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was made to incorporate the teachings of Jung into the claim of the Akkarakaran’363 Patent. Here, with respect to independent claims 1, 16, and 20 of the instant ‘267 application, claims 1, 17, and 36 of the Akkarakaran’363 Patent would easily be modified with the functionality of “determining”, as described by Jung, so as to have the functionality of “determining whether a transmission over the BWP of the carrier is frequency division multiplexed with the synchronization signal block based at least in part on the first SCS and the second SCS, wherein the transmission is frequency division multiplexed if the first SCS is the same as the second SCS and the transmission is not frequency division multiplexed if the first SCS is different than the second SCS; and receiving the transmission over the BWP of the carrier based at least in part on determining whether the transmission is frequency division multiplexed with the synchronization signal block.”, whereby this modification would yield predictable results. Therefore, it would have been obvious to have the further teachings of Jung included in the invention defined in claims 1, 17, and 36 of the Akkarakaran’363 Patent to obtain the invention of claims 1, 16, and 20 in the instant application. Further, regarding dependent claims 2-6, 11, and 17-19 in the instant application, these claims are shown above in corresponding claims of the ‘363 Akkarakaran Patent. Additionally, regarding dependent claims 7-8 and 21 , Jung further discloses wherein the first SCS is 120 kHz or 240 kHz, and also wherein the second SCS is 120 kHz [see paragraphs 0064-0065; also see paragraph 0069]. In addition, regarding dependent claim 10 , Jung further teaches wherein the transmission is associated with remaining minimum system information [see paragraphs 0050-0057]. Here, the Akkarakaran’363 Patent would easily be modified with this additional functionality, as described by Jung, whereby this modification would yield predictable results. Therefore, it would have been obvious to have the further teachings of Jung included in the invention defined in claims 1, 17, and 36 of the Akkarakaran’363 Patent to obtain the invention of claims 7-8, 10, and 21 in the instant application. Continuing, with respect to dependent claim 12 , Jung further discloses that multiple signals can be determined and subsequently received, as seen in Figs. 4 and 7-8. With this, it would be obvious to have the invention defined in claim 1 of the Akkarakaran’363 Patent include “determining that a second transmission over the BWP of the carrier is frequency division multiplexed with the synchronization signal block based at least in part on the first SCS being different than the second SCS; receiving the second transmission over the BWP of the carrier based at least in part on determining that the second transmission is frequency division multiplexed with synchronization signal block.” Further, regarding claims 13 and 14 , these features are seen and discussed in claims 3 and 10 above. Furter, regarding claim 15 , Jung further describes a band in the frequency domain is included, as read in paragraph 0070, which states “In various embodiments, in NR, an SS block time index within an SS burst set may be indicated based on a PBCH-DMRS sequence index (e.g., 3 bits for 8 possible PBCH DM-RS sequences) for low frequency bands (e.g., below 6 GHz). In such embodiments, for high frequency bands (e.g., above 6 GHz), in addition to the PBCH-DMRS sequence index, additional bits (e.g., 3 additional bits) for an SS block time index (e.g., 6 bits) may be indicated in the PBCH to support more than 8 SS blocks. In some embodiments, SS block time locations in an SS burst set may be indexed from 0 to L−1 in increasing order within a half radio frame. For embodiments in which L=8 or L=64, 3 LSBs of an SS block time index are indicated by 8 different PBCH-DMRS sequences {a_0, . . . , a_7}. For embodiments in which L=4, 2 LSBs of SS block time index may be indicated by 4 different PBCH-DMRS sequences {b_0, . . . , b_3} with the one remaining bit out of 3 LSBs set to 0 and not transmitted by PBCH. In various embodiments, {a_0, . . . , a_3} may be the same as {b_0, . . . , b_3} for a given cell ID indicated by PSS/SSS.”. Thus, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to have the further teachings of Jung with the invention of claim 1 of the Akkarakaran’363 Patent and Jung to include “a guard band in the frequency domain is included between the second transmission and the synchronization signal block.” Information Disclosure Statement The references cited in the Information Disclosure Statements dated November 14, 2023, February 9, 2024, and August 21, 2024 have been considered by the Examiner (see attached annotated PTO/SB/08a’s).
