Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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.
Claim(s) 2 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Lee et al. (US20200234066) wherein Lee et al. teaches the elements previously discussed and
further suggests: (re: cl 2) wherein the composite image consists only of the plurality of image regions (⁋54-compares composite image using difference ; ⁋18-composite images used ).
It 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, for Lee et al. to perform the negative limitation of using the composite image only of the plurality of image regions as Lee et al. has already taught using the composite images in recognizing taillights and evaluating the tail light signals as disclosed simplifies the recognition task without the need for additional difficulty and complication as one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize.
Claim(s) 8, 13 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Lee et al. (US20200234066) in view of Huang et al. (WO2018059585), with citations per the machine translation. wherein Lee et al. teaches the elements previously discussed and
Huang et al. teaches any elements Lee et al. lacks including:
(re: cl 8) wherein the first predefined time interval is determined based on a standard frequency of vehicle light changes of vehicles (L382-384-“ For example, the state of the rear light of the vehicle, particularly the state of the turn signal, can be identified based on the color of the rear light in the light recognition area, the blinking frequency, or the blinking sequence.”; L397-400-”For example, the state of the rear light of the vehicle, particularly the state of the turn signal, can be identified based on the color of the rear light in the light recognition area, the blinking frequency, or the blinking sequence.”; L426-429-“ The color, flicker frequency, or flashing sequence of the taillights of the car, thereby determining the row and column coordinates of the taillights of the flashing car. It is set to finalize the left turn signal, right turn or a double flash lamp recognition of warning lights.“; L430-435-“ , a time micro-molecule image corresponding to a vehicle light recognition area, a continuously blinking taillight sub-image is highlighted in the micro-molecule image at that time, and the taillight sub-image is determined to be located in the light recognition by recognizing coordinates. On the left side of the area, the flicker frequency is once per second. For example, it can be determined that the target vehicle is currently playing a left turn signal.”).
It 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, for Lee et al. to use a prediction model is a rule-based system that applies one or more predefined rules based on a standard turn frequency to predict the vehicle action of the second as turn signals and emergency lights blink and using a frequency analysis can distinguish flashing lights and type distinguish as taught by Huang et al..
Huang et al. teaches any elements Lee et al. lacks including:
(re: cl 13 wherein the prediction model is a rule-based system that applies one or more predefined rules based on a standard turn frequency to predict the vehicle action of the second vehicle (L382-384-“For example, the state of the rear light of the vehicle, particularly the state of the turn signal, can be identified based on the color of the rear light in the light recognition area, the blinking frequency, or the blinking sequence.”; L397-400-” For example, the state of the rear light of the vehicle, particularly the state of the turn signal, can be identified based on the color of the rear light in the light recognition area, the blinking frequency, or the blinking sequence.”; L426-429-“The color, flicker frequency, or flashing sequence of the taillights of the car, thereby determining the row and column coordinates of the taillights of the flashing car.

Double Patenting
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. A web-based eTerminal Disclaimer may be filled out completely online using web-screens. An eTerminal Disclaimer that meets all requirements is auto-processed and approved immediately upon submission.
