DETAILED ACTION
Claims 1-24 filed December 15th 2025 are pending in the current 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 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); 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.
The USPTO Internet website contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be used. Please visit www.uspto.gov/patent/patents-forms. The actual filing date of the application in which the form is filed determines what form (e.g., PTO/SB/25, PTO/SB/26, PTO/AIA /25, or PTO/AIA /26) 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.

Sha et al (US 2022/0244536)
1. A method comprising: at an electronic device in communication with a display of the electronic device: while presenting, via the display, a three-dimensional environment that includes a first user interface of an application running on the electronic device, receiving, from a remote electronic device, display data representing a second user interface of the remote electronic device, wherein the remote electronic device is not displaying the second user interface; in response to receiving the display data, presenting, via the display, a representation of the second user interface of the remote electronic device based on the display data; while presenting the first user interface of the application and the representation of the second user interface of the remote electronic device, detecting a user input; and in response to detecting the user input: in accordance with a determination that a gaze of a user of the electronic device is directed to the representation of the second user interface of the remote electronic device when the user input is detected, causing the remote electronic device to perform a first operation directed to the second user interface of the remote electronic device based on the user input; and in accordance with a determination that the gaze is directed to the first user interface of the application running on the electronic device, performing a second operation directed to the first user interface based on the user input.
1. A method comprising: at a first electronic device in communication with a display and one or more input devices of the first electronic device: while presenting, via the display, a computer-generated environment that includes a first user interface of an application running on the first electronic device, receiving, from a second electronic device, display data representing a second user interface of the second electronic device; in response to receiving the display data, presenting, via the display, a representation of the second user interface of the second electronic device based on the display data; while presenting the first user interface of the application and the representation of the second user interface of the second electronic device, detecting a respective event corresponding to user input; and in response to detecting the respective event: in accordance with a determination that a gaze of a user of the first electronic device is directed to the representation of the second user interface of the second electronic device when the respective event is detected, causing the second electronic device to perform a first operation directed to the second user interface of the second electronic device based on the respective event; and in accordance with a determination that the gaze is directed to the first user interface of the application running on the first electronic device, performing a second operation directed to the first user interface based on the respective event.
The ’515 patent teaches a second user interface, however the ‘515 patent does not explicitly teach wherein the remote electronic device is not displaying the second user interface. However, in an analogous field of endeavor Sha teaches wherein the remote electronic device is not displaying the second user interface. (See Sha ¶26 where In some embodiments, graphic interface 101 and virtual graphic interface 102 may be different. In other words, virtual graphic interface 102 may be an extension of graphic interface 101. For example, display device 125 may be set as a master display device configured to display a main graphic interface (for example, the desktop), and wearable device 115 may be set as a slave display device configured to display the extended graphic interface (for example, the desktop extension), and vice versa. Graphic interface 101 and virtual graphic interface 102 may have completely coordinated view designs.) Thus, it would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art to modify the second user interface of the ‘515 patent to be an extension of the desktop as taught by Sha. One of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to perform the modification for the advantage of/ benefit of efficiently displaying a plurality of graphic interfaces in a low-cost manner.

The ’515 patent teaches a second user interface, however the ‘515 patent does not explicitly teach wherein the remote electronic device is not displaying the second user interface. However, in an analogous field of endeavor Sha teaches wherein the remote electronic device is not displaying the second user interface. (See Sha ¶26 where In some embodiments, graphic interface 101 and virtual graphic interface 102 may be different. In other words, virtual graphic interface 102 may be an extension of graphic interface 101. For example, display device 125 may be set as a master display device configured to display a main graphic interface (for example, the desktop), and wearable device 115 may be set as a slave display device configured to display the extended graphic interface (for example, the desktop extension), and vice versa. Graphic interface 101 and virtual graphic interface 102 may have completely coordinated view designs.) Thus, it would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art to modify the second user interface of the ‘515 patent to be an extension of the desktop as taught by Sha. One of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to perform the modification for the advantage of/ benefit of efficiently displaying a plurality of graphic interfaces in a low-cost manner.
