CTNF 18/797,367 CTNF 87882 DETAILED ACTION This action is responsive to the application filed on August 07, 2024, which is a continuation of 17/965,668, filed on October 13, 2022, now US Pat. No. 12/099,855. Claims 1-20 are pending and are presented to examination. 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. 07-06 AIA 15-10-15 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 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. Examiner Notes Examiner cites particular columns, paragraphs, figures and line numbers in the references as applied to the claims below for the convenience of the applicant. Although the specified citations are representative of the teachings in the art and are applied to the specific limitations within the individual claim, other passages and figures may apply as well. It is respectfully requested that, in preparing responses, the applicant fully consider the references in their entirety as potentially teaching all or part of the claimed invention, as well as the context of the passage as taught by the prior art or disclosed by the examiner. Drawings The drawings filed on August 07, 2024 and September 23, 2024 are acceptable for examination purposes. Foreign Priority The foreign priority date considered for this application is January 25, 2021. Information Disclosure Statement As required by M.P.E.P. 609, the applicant’s submission of the Information Disclosure Statement dated August 18, 2024 is acknowledged by the examiner and the cited references have been considered in the examination of the claims now pending. Specification The CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION section discloses a parent case 17/965,668 filed on October 13, 2022, now patented. The patent number must be disclosed on the record. Appropriate correction is required. Claim Objections 07-29-01 AIA Claim s 1-20 are objected to because of the following informalities: Claim 1 (and similar for claims 8 and 15): Line 7, replace “comprises causing” with --including--. Line 11, “the second service logic” lacks proper antecedent basis. Line 11, delete “causing”. Dependent claims 2-7, 9-14, and 16-20 do not overcome the deficiency of the base claim and, therefore, are objected for the same reasons as the base claim . Appropriate correction is required. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112 07-30-02 AIA 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. 07-34-01 Claims 1-20 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. 07-34-05 AIA Claim 1 (and similar for claims 8 and 15) recites the limitation “ adjusting the state machine to a second state according to an execution result of the first service logic, the second service logic including causing a display of a first resource data amount and a second resource data amount, the first resource data amount and the second resource data amount corresponding to resource types in different regions, on the second conversation interface at the second terminal; ” in lines 10-14. Claim 1 (and similar for claims 8 and 15) recites the limitation “ executing a second service logic of the cross-regional resource transfer service corresponding to the second state; ” in lines 15-16. It seems these limitations have been arranged incorrectly, the “adjusting” step defines what the second service logic includes (displaying dual-currency amounts), but the ”executing” step is where the second service logic is actually executed. The “executing” step should occur first. Claim 7 (and similar for claim 14) recites “ wherein the request for the cross-regional resource transfer service is read from a blockchain; and the method further comprises: encapsulating a plurality of states of the state machine in the cross-regional resource transfer service, an execution result of the service logic corresponding to each of the states, and the service execution result of the cross-regional resource transfer service into a block; and storing the block to the blockchain. ” . There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim. Dependent claims 2-6, 9-13 and 16-20 do not overcome the deficiency of the base claim and, therefore, are rejected for the same reasons as the base claim. 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. 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. For more information about eTerminal Disclaimers, refer to www.uspto.gov/patents/apply/applying-online/eterminal-disclaimer. 08-34 AIA Claim s 1-12, 14-16 and 18-19 rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claim s 1-5, 7-11 and 14-17 of U.S. Patent No. 12,099,855 . Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because both of them share similar claim scope, managing request of a cross regional resource transfer between other resources and managing state machine .
