CTNF 18/890,056 CTNF 84771 DETAILED ACTION Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status 07-03-aia AIA 15-10-aia 1. The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. 2. Claims 1-14 are pending in this application. Priority 3. Acknowledgement is made of applicant’s claim for foreign priority based on application JP 2022-079421 filed on 05/13/2022 under 35 U.S.C 119(a)-(d). This application discloses and claims only subject matter disclosed in priorApplication Nos. 18/305246 & 18/501840, filed on 04/21/2023 & 11/03/2023, and name an inventor or inventors named in the prior application. Accordingly, this application may constitute a continuation or division. Should applicant desire to obtain the benefit of the filing date of the prior application, attention is directed to 35 U.S.C. 120 and 37 CFR 1.78. Drawings 4. The drawing has been filed on 09/19/2024 are acceptable for examination purpose. Information Disclosure Statement 5. The information disclosure statement filed on 10/22/2024 is in compliance with the provision of the 37 CFR 1.97 and therefore has been considered. Double Patenting 08-33 AIA 6. 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 claims at issue 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); and 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 a nonstatutory double patenting ground provided the reference application or patent either is shown to be commonly owned with this application, or claims an invention made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. A terminal disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(b). Effective January 1, 1994, a registered attorney or agent of record may sign a terminal disclaimer. A terminal disclaimer signed by the assignee must fully comply with 37 CFR 3.73(b). 7. Claims 1-14 are rejected on the ground of nonstatutory obviousness-type double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 1-15 of U.S. Patent(s) 11,843,742 B2 (& 12,126,776 B2). It is clear that all the elements of an instant application independent claim 1 is to be found in patent ( U.S. Patent No. 11,843,742 B2 ) claims 1, 9, 16-17 as the instant application independent claim 1 fully encompasses the patent claim 1. The difference between the instant application independent claim 1 and the patent ( U.S. Patent No. 11,843,742 B2 ) claim 1 lies in the fact that the patent ( U.S. Patent No. 11,843,742 B2 ) claim includes many more elements and is thus much more specific. Thus, the invention of claim 1 of the patent ( U.S. Patent No. 11,843,742 B2 ) is in effect a “species” of the “generic” invention of the instant application independent claim 1. It has been held that the generic invention is “anticipated” by the “species”. See In re Goodman, 29 USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993). Since the instant application independent claim 1 is anticipated by claim 1 of the patent ( U.S. Patent No. 11,843,742 B2 ), it is not patentably distinct from claim 1 of the patent ( U.S. Patent No. 11,843,742 B2 ). The dependent claims 2-14 of the instant application obviously claim the same subject matter as found in the claims 2-15 of the parent patent’ 742 and therefore would be rejected based on the claims 2-15 of the parent patent’ 742.

Thus, it would have been obvious to one of the ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to incorporate Seki teaching to press the document placed on the platen glass against the platen glass and display the status of the printer to modify Chien’s teaching to perform copying operation and performs control to display a status of the printer on display panel which is provided at viewable position of main portion of the printer, to display an image representing a growth stage and/or appearance of living thing such as fish to show current status of main portion. The suggestion/motivation for doing so would have been benefitted to the user to enable a user to quickly know the current status of the printing apparatus and act accordingly to resolve issues occurred during copying process so as to save time and resources . 07-21-aia AIA 12. Claim 14 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Chien, US Pub 2021/0011415 (cited in IDS) in view of Potter, US Pub 2012/0188589 (cited in IDS) . As to claim 14 [dependent from claim 1], Chien doesn’t teach wherein the operation unit is supported with respect to a casing of the image forming apparatus so as to be pivotable between a first operation position at which the display portion faces the front side and a second operation position at which the display portion faces upward than the first operation position . Potter teaches wherein the operation unit is supported with respect to a casing of the image forming apparatus so as to be pivotable between a first operation position at which the display portion faces the front side [ fig. 3; 0020-0021 ] and a second operation position at which the display portion faces upward than the first operation position [ fig. 4 ; 0020-0021 ] . Thus, it would have been obvious to one of the ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to incorporate Potter teaching to provide operation panel i.e. device to be pivotable between a first operation position at which the display portion faces the front side to modify Chien’s teaching to have a selectively positionable user interface which enables a user to input and receive information related to operation of the printer. A user interface is moveable between the positions associated with user activities respectively. A repositioning mechanism is configured to reposition the user interface between the positions, based on user interaction with the printer corresponding to the user activities. The user interface is repositioned by the repositioning mechanism in response to the movement of the movable component. The suggestion/motivation for doing so would have been benefitted to the user who user can easily view the display from a position slightly spaced from the device by tilting the screen. As the selectively positionable user interface can be configured to automatically reposition based upon the user accessing an access panel of the device, the need of the user must to back and forth between the user interfaces to view the user interface during the operation can be eliminated .
