Double Patenting
4. A rejection based on double patenting of the “same invention” type finds its support in the language of 35 U.S.C. 101 which states that “whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process... may obtain a patent therefor...” (Emphasis added). Thus, the term “same invention,” in this context, means an invention drawn to identical subject matter. See Miller v. Eagle Mfg. Co., 151 U.S. 186 (1894); In re Vogel, 422 F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); In re Ockert, 245 F.2d 467, 114 USPQ 330 (CCPA 1957).
A statutory type (35 U.S.C. 101) double patenting rejection can be overcome by canceling or amending the claims that are directed to the same invention so they are no longer coextensive in scope. The filing of a terminal disclaimer cannot overcome a double patenting rejection based upon 35 U.S.C. 101.
Claim 1 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 101 as claiming the same invention as that of claim 1 of prior U.S. Patent No. 12,072,828. This is a statutory double patenting rejection.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable program code executable by a processor to: generate a serverless application stack based on a designation of a message bus producer, a set of business logic to be stored in a set of containers, a designation of a message bus consumer, and a designation of a set of message-handling functions, wherein the set of business logic comprises a set of user-generated program code; receive, by the serverless application stack, a message stream comprising a set of messages from the message bus producer as streaming data; process, by the serverless application stack, the message stream by using at least a first function stored in the set of containers; and perform, by the serverless application stack, at least one message-handling function of the set of message-handling functions on the message stream, the at least one message-handling function comprising a filter function to filter the message stream based upon the set of business logic.
