Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
4. The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless –
(a)(2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under section 151, or in an application for patent published or deemed published under section 122(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.
Claim(s) 1 and 11 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) as being anticipated by US 2020/3722020 (hereinafter Hyde).
As for claim 1 Hyde discloses: A computer-implemented method for dynamically loading a graph database, the method comprising: providing, by one or more processors (See paragraphs 0009), a query interface to one or more web clients over a communications network; receiving, from at least one of the one or more web clients, a query via the query interface; based on the query, executing, by the one or more processors, one or more external calls to one or more data sources (See paragraph 0025 note calls are made to the server); implementing, by the one or more processors, one or more nodes-related methods to process node data from the one or more data sources (See paragraph 0022 note the nodes and graphs are compared); implementing, by the one or more processors, one or more relationships-related methods to process relationship data from the one or more data sources; performing, by the one or more processors, at least one of Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) operation on data from the one or more data sources See paragraphs 0007, 0022 note relationships are processed and used to determine responses (See paragraphs 0009, 0020 and 0032); and constructing, by the one or more processors, a graph database based on the results of the at least one CRUD operation (See paragraph 0022 note either a graph is generated or a prestored graph is returned) .
Claim 11 is a non-transitory computer readable medium substantially corresponding to the method of claim 1 and is thus rejected for the same reasons as set forth in the rejection of claim 1.
