DETAILED ACTION
Final Rejection Response to Amendment
This action is in response to Applicant's communications filed 01/26/26.Claims 1-20 are amended. Thus, claims 1-20 are pending in the present application.
Response to Arguments
Applicant's arguments regarding rejections under 35 U.S.C. 112 have been fully considered but are not found persuasive. Rejections under 35 USC 112 are maintained. The Examiner would like to point out that this action is final.
Claim 1 recites the limitation “verify integrity of the first payload according to a first fault-tolerant type, wherein the first fault-tolerant type is for single-insertion data or for multiple-insertion data…. and verify integrity of the second payload according to a second fault-tolerant type, wherein the second fault-tolerant type is for single insertion data or for multiple-insertion data, and the first tolerant type is different from the second fault-tolerant type" however how do the first and second fault-tolerant types differ each other? for example., does the first one is employed to replace defected memory cells while the other one generates parity bits to correct error and furthermore the interconnection between the fault-tolerant types is extremely confusing and for the most part not detailed or mentioned in the claim. It is difficult to translate the claim and follow what processes are taking place.
Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. See MPEP § 706.07(a). 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 extension fee 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 date of this final action.
