`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`(Applicationsfiled on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`Section 1(h)(2) of the ATA Technical Corrections Act amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(B)(i) to eliminate the requirement
`that the Office provide a patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. Sec Revisions to Patent
`Term Adjustment, 78 Fed. Reg. 19416, 19417 (Apr. 1, 2013). Therefore, the Office is no longer providing an initial
`patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. The Office will continue to provide a patent term
`adjustment determination with the Issue Notification Letter that is mailed to applicant approximately three weeks prior
`to the issue date of the patent, and will include the patent term adjustment on the patent. Any request for reconsideration
`of the patent term adjustment determination (or reinstatement of patent term adjustment) should follow the process
`outlined in 37 CFR 1.705.
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Term Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the Office of
`Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fec payments should be
`directed to the Customer Service Centerof the Office of Patent Publication at 1-(888)-786-0101 or (571)-272-4200.

`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Status
`
`1.
`
`The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under
`
`the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA.
`
`2.
`
`Claims 1 to 9 are allowed.
`
`Allowable Subject Matter
`
`Reasonsfor Allowance
`
`3.
`
`The following is an examiner’s statement of reasonsfor allowance:
`
`Regarding the rejection under 35 U.S.C. §101, Claims 1 to 9 have been reviewed
`
`and found to not be directed towards an abstract idea under 2019 PEG. Claims 1 to 9 do
`
`not recite mathematical concepts, mental processes or certain methods of organizing
`
`human activity as outlined in the 2019 PEG. Even if so, these claims recite additional
`
`elements which would apply or use the judicial exception in some other meaningful way
`
`beyond generally linking the use of the judicial exception to a particular technological
`
`environment(i.¢., integrate the abstract idea into a practical application under 2019 PEG).
`
`Further, none of the cited prior art discloses or teaches an apparatus or method,
`
`as recited in independent Claims 1, 8 and 9 (and their respective dependent Claims 2 to
`
`7). Additionally, it would not have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the
`
`time of the invention to modify or combine any of the cited prior art to teach such elements.
`
`Accordingly, Claims 1 to 9 have been allowed.
