CTNF 18/902,488 CTNF 72671 DETAILED ACTION Claims 1-20 are pending in the present application. Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status 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. 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. Regarding claim 1, the following limitation is vague: “and an identifier of the predictive analytics technique into a procedure template to provide a procedure” [see claim 1, lines 18-20]. The phrase is vague to the function of inserting an identifier into a procedure template. The limitations of independent claims 14 and 18 parallel claim 1; therefore, they are rejected under the same rationale. Claims2-13, 15-17, and 19-20 are rejected based on dependency. Allowable Subject Matter 07-43-01 AIA Claim s 1-20 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejection(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), 2nd paragraph, set forth in this Office action.
