Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
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.
Claims 1-18 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.
Claim 1, the limitation “a process liquid source” in line 6, is indefinite because it is unclear if this refers to the same “process liquid source” in line 2. It seems only one process liquid source 3 is disclosed in the description. For the purpose of examination, the limitations will be interpreted as referring to the same liquid source.
Claim 10, the limitation “a process liquid source” in lines 8-9, is indefinite because it is unclear if this refers to the same “process liquid source” in line 4. It seems only one process liquid source 3 is disclosed in the description. For the purpose of examination, the limitations will be interpreted as referring to the same liquid source.
Claims 2-9 and 11-18 are rejected due to being dependent upon a rejected base claim.

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.
The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
