DETAILED ACTION
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
In the response to this office action, the Examiner respectfully requests that support be shown for language added to any original claims on amendment and any new claims. That is, indicate support for newly added claim language by specifically pointing to page(s) and line numbers in the specification and/or drawing figure(s). This will assist the Examiner in prosecuting this application.
Specification
The application specification failed to provide antecedent basis for the claimed limitation “converting only speech by another person that the human user is talking to on the telephone into text data”. For example, the application specification read “Next, in step 204, a command from a human driver of the motor vehicle is responded to by converting at least a portion of the audio feed from the telephone into text data, and storing the text data in a memory device. For example, in response to a command in the form of the driver actuating of switch 18, voice recognition module 26 may receive the audio feed and convert the audio feed to text, and the converted text may be stored in memory in cloud 16 or in a memory device disposed within vehicle 12 (para 23, USPGPub 20260181076 A1)” and wherein about “audio feed”, the specification further read “In response to the actuation of switch 18, voice recognition module 26 may begin to receive an audio feed from Bluetooth module 22. The audio feed from Bluetooth module 22 may include what the other person on the phone conversation is saying to the driver of vehicle 12. The audio feed from Bluetooth module 22 may also include what the driver of vehicle 12 is saying. Voice recognition module 26 may convert the audio feed to text, and the converted text may be stored in memory in cloud 16 in association with the time and date of the conversation. It is also possible for the converted text to be stored in a memory device disposed within vehicle 12 (para 20)” and there is no disclosure of support of the claimed limitation above. Note: similar to the priority provisional application 63/125,811 filed on December 15, 2020 and non-provisional parent application 17/548,240 filed on December 10, 2021, and wherein there is no support provided in the specifications about the limitations discussed above.
The specification read “Bluetooth (para 8, 18-22)” which should be capitalized wherever they appear and be accompanied by the generic terminology. Although the use of trademarks is permissible in patent applications, the proprietary nature of the marks should be respected and every effort made to prevent their use in any manner which might adversely affect their validity as trademarks and see MPEP 608.01(v).
Appropriate correction is required.
Claim Objections
Claims 2-7, 9-15, 17-20 objected to because of the following informalities:
Claims 2, 9 recited “Bluetooth” which should be placed with trademark or capitalization and see MPEP 608.01(v). Claim 2 further recites “The system of claim 1” which should be --The recording system of claim 1-- and for the similar reason above, claims 3-7 are objected.
Claim 9 further recites “The method of claim 8” which should be -- The recording method of claim 8-- and Claims 10-15 are objected for the reason above because claims 10-15 recite the similar deficient limitation such as “The method of claim …”.
Claim 17 recites “The system of claim 16” which should be -- The recording system of claim 16-- and claims 18-20 are objected for the similar reason above.
Appropriate correction is required.
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 obviousness-type double patenting rejection is appropriate where the conflicting claims 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 nonstatutory double patenting provided the reference application or patent either is shown to be commonly owned with the examined application, or claims an invention made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. See MPEP § 717.02 for applications subject to examination under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA as explained in MPEP § 2159. See MPEP § 2146 et seq. for applications not subject to examination under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA . A terminal disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(b).
The filing of a terminal disclaimer by itself is not a complete reply to a nonstatutory double patenting (NSDP) rejection. A complete reply requires that the terminal disclaimer be accompanied by a reply requesting reconsideration of the prior Office action. Even where the NSDP rejection is provisional the reply must be complete. See MPEP § 804, subsection I.B.1. For a reply to a non-final Office action, see 37 CFR 1.111(a). For a reply to final Office action, see 37 CFR 1.113(c). A request for reconsideration while not provided for in 37 CFR 1.113(c) may be filed after final for consideration. See MPEP §§ 706.07(e) and 714.13.
