DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Double Patenting
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).
The USPTO internet Web site contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be used. Please visit http://www.uspto.gov/forms/. The filing date of the application will determine what form should be used. A web-based eTerminal Disclaimer may be filled out completely online using web-screens. An eTerminal Disclaimer that meets all requirements is auto-processed and approved immediately upon submission.

Claims 20-39 are provisionally rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 1-20 of US Patent No. 12,229,478 in view of Shibi (US 2010/0023203).

receiving, by the device, atmospherics information comprising location-based atmospherics data;
identifying, by the device, geographic information corresponding to a location;
analyzing, by the device, based on the geographic information, the atmospherics information;

No
In view of the above, it is clear that the claims 20, 30, and 37 of the instant application and the claims 1, 11, and 16 of U.S. Patent No. 12,229,478, Application No. 18/490,489 merely recited the same invention except for storing, by the device, the actionable set of instructions in a database accessible over a network to at least one of the device or device at the location.
However, in related art, Shihi teaches storing, by the device, the actionable set of instructions in a database accessible over a network to at least one of the device or device at the location (See abstract; Paragraphs [0007, 0017, 0020, and 0029]). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was made to use (pre-AIA ) or before the effective filing date of the claimed invention (AIA ) to use Shibi’s teaching about storing, by the device, the actionable set of instructions in a database accessible over a network to at least one of the device or device at the location to the US Patent 10,069,200, Application No. 14/660,215 in order to perform data/voice communications.
