Response to Arguments
Applicant Amendments and Remarks filed on 06/24/2026 in response to the Non-Final office action mailed on 05/12/2026 have been fully considered and are addressed as follows:
Regarding the Claim Objections: The objections are withdrawn, as the amendments to the claims have properly addressed the informalities recited in the Non-Final office action.
Regarding the Claim Rejections under 35 USC §§ 102 and 103: With respect to the previous claim rejections under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103, Applicant’s arguments regarding the rejections have been fully considered.
Regrading claim 1, Applicant alleges that:
Jesewitz fails to explicitly or inherently disclose that the leg and roof actuators that are configured such that the associated roof maintains a substantially constant attitude as the pair of legs are moved between the upright and lowered configurations. Jesewitz clearly discloses that each of the actuators are independently controllable from one another, but fails to disclose in any manner that the actuators are controlled to maintain the associated roof in a substantially constant attitude as the legs are moved between the upright and lowered configurations. Further, the arrangement as disclosed by Jesewitz does not inherently disclose or that the arrangement necessarily operate in the manner as required in claim 1 (pg. 2, Applicant Amendments and Remarks filed on 06/24/2026).
Examiner disagrees.
Claim 1 recites “the at least one leg actuator and the roof actuator are configured such that the roof maintains a substantial constant attitude as the pair of legs are moved between the upright and the lowered configurations” (emphasis added). The phrase “configured such that” means “capable of” providing the recited function. As previously stated in the Non-Final office action mailed on 05/12/2026, Jesewitz discloses the mid height position in FIG. 3 and the stowed position in FIG. 4 showing that the cargo rack apparatus 500 (i.e., “roof”) maintains the substantial constant attitude as the tower bases 595a, 595b (i.e., “pair of legs”) are moved between the upright and the lowered configuration (see also para. [0104]-[0116]). Therefore, Jesewitz discloses the configuration or the capability of performing the claimed function. Moreover, Jesewitz states that “the tilting of the cargo rack apparatus 500 can be adjusted in coordination with the tilting of the tower 514” (emphasis added) (para. [0112]). Therefore, Jesewitz discloses the cargo rack apparatus 500 and the tower 514 specifically designed for the coordinated movement shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 which maintains the substantial constant attitude.
Regarding claims 7-9, Applicant further alleges that:
the Examiner improperly and arbitrarily groups numerous components or elements of the tower assembly (the upper and horizontal support 515) and elements of the roof structure (the wall supports 528, 530, the interconnecting rails 523a, 523b and the back rail 526) to constitute a cross-piece (pg. 2, Applicant Amendments and Remarks filed on 06/24/2026).
Examiner disagrees.
The “cross-piece” is merely claimed as an element “extending between the legs” in claim 1, and any one of the Examiner listed elements of Jesewitz extends between the tower bases 595a, 595b (i.e., “legs”). Examiner provided further explanation in the rejection attached below in the FINAL office action to address Applicant’s alleged concerns regarding the combination of the elements of claim 1 and 7-9.
Regrading claim 14, Applicant alleges that:
Claim 14 defines similar elements to those as discussed above with respect to claim 1 and therefore is also in condition for allowance (pg. 4, Applicant Amendments and Remarks filed on 06/24/2026).
Examiner disagrees.
Claim 14 recites “the roof actuator is configured to move the roof between a substantially horizontal orientation and a tilted orientation to allow access to the articles stored on the roof,” and the limitation has a distinctive scope than claim 1.
For at least the foregoing reasons, and the rejections outlined below, the prior art rejections are maintained in the FINAL office action.
It is also noted that Applicant has amended to introduce new claims and the new claims necessitate new grounds of rejection. Therefore, the Office has supplied new grounds of rejection attached below in the FINAL office action.

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
The factual inquiries for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows:
1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art.
2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue.
3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art.
4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating obviousness or nonobviousness.
Claim 2 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Jesewitz in view of Messik et al. (US 2022/0234688 A1, hereinafter “Messik”).
Regarding claim 2, Jesewitz discloses the foldable watersports tower of claim 1.
However, Jesewitz does not explicitly state wherein the at least one leg actuator includes a pair of leg actuators respectively coupled to one of the legs of the pair of legs.
Nevertheless, Jesewitz at least suggests that the tower bases 595a, 595b, integrated tower mounts 590a, 590b, and towers 514a, 514b are respectively symmetrical.
In the same field of endeavor, Messik teaches wherein the at least one leg actuator includes a pair of leg actuators respectively coupled to one of the legs of the pair of legs (Messik at FIG. 2, 5, 6 and para. [0035]: “The bimini top 22 has port and starboard lower actuators 52 coupled to the lower ends 44 of the support arms 42, respectively, and to the hull 24 of the marine vessel 20”).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify the tower of Jesewitz by adding the pair of leg actuators of Messik with a reasonable expectation of success. Moreover, mere duplication of parts has no patentable significance unless a new and unexpected result is produced (MPEP § 2144.04(VI)(B)). The motivation to modify the tower of Jesewitz in view of Messik is to provide actively controllable port and starboard support arms.
Conclusion
Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. See MPEP § 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a).
