Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b):
(b) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph:
The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
Claims 1-4, and 6-20 are 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 applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant), regards as the invention.
Claim 1 recites the limitation “…wherein the first fastener and the second faster are both L-shaped locking members (line 10)…. and the holes on the first fastener and second fastener are locked and connected through the locking members (lines 12-13)” which indefinite because it is unclear if “the locking members” of lines 12-13 refers to the first and second fasteners/L-shaped locking members of line 10 (referred to in the Specification as first and second fasteners 2a, 2b as shown in Fig. 1 and also upper and lower limiting members 41, 42 as shown in Fig. 3), or if “the locking members” of lines 12-13 refers to the locking member 6 of Paragraph 0056 as shown in Fig. 7. Note that there is only one locking member 6 per group of first and second corresponding fasteners, not a plurality of locking members.
Claims 4, 9, and 10 recite the limitation “wherein the at least one group of slidably fitting components is two groups, and the two groups of slidably fitting components are symmetrical with respect to center lines of the surfaces (line 3), the at least one group of slidably fitting components is one group, and the one group of slidably fitting components is located on the center line of the surface (line 5), or the at least one group of slidably fitting components is one group, and further comprising at least one pulley, the at least one pulley is disposed on any one of the two surfaces, and the slidably fitting components and the at least one pulley are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the surface (lines 8-9).” The limitations “on the center line of the surface” and “with respect to the center line of the surface” is indefinite because it is unclear whether “the center line of the surface” refers to a specific one of the two surfaces, or if “the center line of the surface” refers to either one of the two surfaces.
Claims 2-4, and 6-20 are rejected for depending from, and failing to cure the deficiencies of, a rejected claim.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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.
Claims 1-4 and 6-20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Marcolongo (U.S. Pat. No. 3552817) in view of Gunning (U.S. Pat. No. 5667287).
With respect to claim 1, Marcolongo discloses a quick-splicing structure for quick connection between two surfaces, comprising: at least one group of slidably fitting components (see annotated Fig. 5 below, flute 2 with rib 3), wherein the slidably fitting components comprise a first member (flute 2) and a second member (rib 3) that are slidably fitted and respectively disposed on the two surfaces (upper surface of box 1 with lower surface of a corresponding box); and a plurality of groups of locking components (see annotated Fig. 1 below, depressions 4 with projections 5), wherein the locking components comprise a first fastener (depression 4) and a second fastener (projection 5) that are fitted to be locked and respectively disposed on the two surfaces (upper surface of box 1 with lower surface of a corresponding box), and the plurality of groups of locking components (depressions 4 with projections 5) and the slidably fitting components (flute 2 with rib 3) are arranged in an alternating manner in a locking direction (depressions 4 with projections 5 are arranged on each side of flute 2/rib 3, locking the box from sliding in a longitudinal locking direction).

It would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to modify the boxes of Marcolongo by replacing the depression/projection locks with column supports and clips such as taught by Gunning with a reasonable expectation of success in order to easily and releasably secure the upper and lower boxes together while preventing boxes from becoming separated as the result of a sliding motion in a longitudinal direction, further securing the connection between the two boxes.
With respect to claim 2, Marcolongo in view of Gunning discloses the limitation set forth above. The combination (Marcolongo) further discloses wherein the at least one group of slidably fitting components (flute 2 with rib 3) is sliding-rail-type slidably fitting components (corresponding shapes of flute 2 and rib 3 allows them to slide relative to each other), and the at least one group of sliding-rail-type slidably fitting components (flute 2 with rib 3) is extended in the locking direction (flute 2 and rib 3 extend and slide along the longitudinal direction and lock in place via the columnar supports and clips of Gunning).
With respect to claim 3, Marcolongo in view of Gunning discloses the limitation set forth above. The combination further discloses wherein the plurality of groups of locking components (Gunning, columnar supports 82a-82d of a first/upper box of Marcolongo and columnar supports 82a-82d of a second/lower box of Marcolongo) are dispersedly arranged in locking positions between the two surfaces (Gunning, Fig. 1, columnar supports 82a-82d are arranged with distance from one another), and two groups among the plurality of groups of locking components located in the locking direction are misaligned (see modified Fig. 1 below, first group of columnar supports 82a would not be aligned with second group of columnar supports 82d).

Response to Arguments
Applicant's arguments filed 2/11/2026 have been fully considered but they are not persuasive.
Rejection under 35 U.S.C. §102
Claim 1 has been amended to include the limitation of depending claim 5, overcoming the 102 rejection in view of Reznikov (U.S. Pat. No. 3552817). However, claim 1 and all its dependent claims are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Marcolongo (U.S. Pat. No. 3552817) in view of Gunning (U.S. Pat. No. 5667287) as mapped in the 103 rejection above.
Claim 1 has been amended to include the limitation of depending claim 5, overcoming the 102 rejection in view of Marcolongo (U.S. Pat. No. 3552817). However, Marcolongo in view of Gunning (U.S. Pat. No. 5667287) teaches the limitation of the amended claim 1 as explained in the Rejection under 35 U.S.C. §103 section below.
Rejection under 35 U.S.C. §103
Claim 1 has been amended to include the limitation of depending claim 5, “wherein the first fastener and the second fastener are both L-shaped locking members, the first fastener and the second fastener are provided with holes in the locking direction, and the holes on the first fastener and the second fastener are locked and connected through the locking members”. Claim 5 has been cancelled.
Applicant argues that the first and second fasteners of Gunning (lower columnar support 82c of the first container 50 and upper columnar support 82c of the corresponding container 50) are not L-shaped. Applicant argues that each columnar support 82 is “a long strip”.
Although the columnar support 82 does have a vertical wall portion 114, it also has a horizontal wall portion extending from the vertical wall portion, forming an L-shape at the lower end of the first, upper container and forming an L-shape at the upper end of the second, lower container as shown in the annotated Figs. 13 below.

The examiner notes that neither the language of the claim nor the specification of the instant application specifies any particular structure related to the “L-shaped locking members”. An “L-shape” is broadly interpreted to require both a vertically extending portion and a horizontally extending portion, but the term “L-shaped” does not preclude additional structure, such as another horizontally extending structure on an opposite end of the vertically extending structure, or an absence of material, such as an aperture.
Applicant further argues that the apertures 84 are vertical to the locking direction, not along the locking direction. The examiner notes that apertures 84 are not the holes referred to in the non-final rejection (11/12/2025). Apertures 84 are holes of the cabinet body, which allow columnar portions 82 to mate with the cabinet body. Clip apertures 146 are the “holes” of the first/second fasteners (columnar portions 82).
The examiner notes that neither the language of the claim nor the specification of the instant application specifies which direction is the “locking direction”. The locked configuration of Fig. 6 appears to lock the two cabinet bodies 1 in all directions including the x-axis and y-axis as shown in Fig. 1, as well as a z-axis (or side-to-side). Additionally, the specification recites “through the arrangement of the slidably fitting components and the locking components and the misalignment of the locking components and the slidably fitting components in the locking direction, the interference problem found in alignment is solved” (paragraph 0019) however the slidably fitting components, first member 1a and second member 1b, are shown sliding in both the X direction in Fig. 5 and the Y direction in Fig. 4. Additionally, paragraph 0009 states “the at least one group of slidably fitting components is sliding-rail-type slidably fitting components, and the at least one group of sliding-rail-type slidably fitting components is extended in the locking direction,” however, these components (1a and 1b) are 3-dimensional and therefore extend in x, y, and z directions.
For purposes of examination, the “locking direction” has been interpreted as a front-to-back direction, such as the X direction shown in Fig. 1. On page 19 of the Remarks, Applicant also designates the locking direction of the cabinet of Gunning as a similar front-to-back direction. Applicant also shows the opening direction of aperture 84 extending perpendicularly to the “locking direction”. However, the holes (clip receptacles 146) are 3-dimensional holes having a length, width and height, therefore the holes are provided in x, y, and z directions as shown in the annotated Fig. 39 below.
