The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112(a):
(a) IN GENERAL.—The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor or joint inventor of carrying out the invention.
The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112:
The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention.
Claims 1-20 rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), first paragraph, as failing to comply with the written description requirement. The claim(s) contains subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor or a joint inventor, or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the inventor(s), at the time the application was filed, had possession of the claimed invention.
Examiner reviewed below added limitation in independent claims 1, 8, and 15
“generating, by the server of the content platform, a set of configuration files, comprising: a label builder configuration file that identifies one or more labels for extraction from the data, a feature builder configuration file that identifies one or more features for extraction from the data, an aggregation configuration file that includes instructions for aggregation of the data, and a validation configuration file that includes at least one validation criterion”,
however, specification lacks support for
generating, by the server of the content platform, a set of configuration files, comprising:
a label builder configuration file …, a feature builder configuration file …, an aggregation configuration file …, and a validation configuration file.
Applicant pointed out support from page # 9-14 in light of Fig. 2 for the amendment, however, Examiner find it as blanket support for the server generating step, however, specification does not clearly mention as to where and how the server is generating these configuration files which are used for identifying, extracting, aggregating, determining, and used this dataset for training the contextual model.
Examiner recommend to amend the claim in support of instant specification to potentially overcome the 35 USC § 112(a) rejection.
Dependent claims inherit these deficiencies.
