`COMMENTS ON STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE
`
`APPLICANT-INITIATED INTERVIEW SUMMARY
`
`Sir:
`
`Applicant respectfully submits in this paper ("Submission") Comments on the
`
`Examiner's statement of reasons for allowance and an Applicant-Initiated Interview
`
`Summary in response to the Notice of Allowability mailed September 11, 2019. Applicant
`
`respectfully requests entry on the record of this Submission in its entirety.

`Comments on Statement of Reasons for Allowance
`Applicant-Initiated Interview Summary
`
`COMMENTS ON STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE
`
`The examiner's statement of reasons for allowance indicates, among other things,
`
`"[t]he examiner's reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter may be found in
`
`the Non-Final Office action mailed 3 May 2019 .... " (Notice of Allowability at 2.) While
`
`Applicant agrees that claims 1-3, 5, 7-11, 13-16, and 18-24 are in condition for allowance,
`
`Applicant does not agree with the Examiner's statement of reasons for allowance for at
`
`least the reasons presented in Applicant's Reply ("Reply") dated May 21, 2019 in response
`
`to the Non-Final Office action and the indication of allowable subject matter found in the
`
`Non-Final Office action. (See Reply at 8-9.)
`
`The examiner's statement of reasons for allowance further indicates, in part, that
`
`"Applicant has amended the independent claims to incorporate subject matter previously
`
`indicated as allowable ... [and a] final search has not revealed prior art that anticipates or
`
`makes obvious all claimed limitations." (Notice of Allowability at 2.) Applicant disagrees
`
`with the examiner's statement of reasons for allowance to the extent that the statement of
`
`reasons for allowance implies that allowability of the claims may be based only on "all
`
`claimed limitations" of the amended claims, for at least the reasons presented in
`
`Applicant's Reply at 8-9, as noted above.
`
`While Applicant has addressed m this Submission certain portions of the
`
`Examiner's statement of reasons for allowance, Applicant does not necessarily agree with
`
`or acquiesce to any other reasons for allowance that may be considered implicit or implied
`
`by the Examiner's statement of reasons for allowance, and Applicant reserves the right to
`
`traverse any such additional reasons.

`Applicant-Initiated Interview Summary
`
`APPLICANT-INITIATED INTERVIEW SUMMARY
`
`Applicant thanks the Examiner for the courtesy of an interview on September 6,
`
`2019. Applicant's representative and the Examiner discussed the Examiner's application
`
`of U.S. Patent No. 9,194,219 ("Hardesty") as the primary reference in all of the 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 103 rejections in the Final Office Action dated August 14, 2019. Applicant's
`
`representative brought to the Examiner's attention that Hardesty is not available as prior
`
`art against the Application at least in view of the foreign priority claim of the Application
`
`versus the effective filing date of Hardesty. The Examiner agreed that Hardesty is not
`
`available as prior art and later notified Applicant's representative that the finality of the
`
`Final Office Action would be withdrawn.

`THE APPLICATION IDENTIFIED ABOVE HAS BEEN EXAMINED AND IS ALLOWED FOR ISSUANCE AS A PATENT.

`THIS APPLICATION IS SUBJECT TO WITHDRAWAL FROM ISSUE AT THE INITIATIVE OF THE OFFICE OR UPON
`PETITION BY THE APPLICANT. SEE 37 CFR 1.313 AND MPEP 1308.
`
`THE ISSUE FEE AND PUBLICATION FEE (IF REQUIRED) MUST BE PAID WITHIN THREE MONTHS FROM THE MAILING
`DATE OF THIS NOTICE OR THIS APPLICATION SHALL BE REGARDED AS ABANDONED. THIS STATUTORY PERIOD
`CANNOT BE EXTENDED. SEE 35 U.S.C. 151. THE ISSUE FEE DUE INDICATED ABOVE DOES NOT REFLECT A CREDIT
`FOR ANY PREVIOUSLY PAID ISSUE FEE IN THIS APPLICATION. IF AN ISSUE FEE HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN PAID IN

`TO REAPPLY THE PREVIOUSLY PAID ISSUE FEE TOWARD THE ISSUE FEE NOW DUE.
`
`HOW TO REPLY TO THIS NOTICE:
`
`I. Review the ENTITY STATUS shown above. If the ENTITY STATUS is shown as SMALL or MICRO, verify whether entitlement to that
`entity status still applies.
`
`If the ENTITY STATUS is the same as shown above, pay the TOTAL FEE(S) DUE shown above.
`

`II. PART B - FEE(S) TRANSMITTAL, or its equivalent, must be completed and returned to the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`(USPTO) with your ISSUE FEE and PUBLICATION FEE (if required). If you are charging the fee(s) to your deposit account, section "4b"
`of Part B - Fee(s) Transmittal should be completed and an extra copy of the form should be submitted. If an equivalent of Part B is filed, a
`request to reapply a previously paid issue fee must be clearly made, and delays in processing may occur due to the difficulty in recognizing
`the paper as an equivalent of Part B.

`III. All communications regarding this application must give the application number. Please direct all communications prior to issuance to Mail
`Stop ISSUE FEE unless advised to the contrary.

`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C.154 (b)
`(Applications filed on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`Section l(h)(2) of the AIA 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. See 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 fee payments should be
`directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at 1-(888)-786-0101 or (571 )-272-4200.

`
`OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and Budget
`approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When OMB approves an agency request to
`collect information from the public, OMB (i) provides a valid OMB Control Number and expiration date for the
`agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the agency to inform
`the public about the OMB Control Number's legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`or retain a benefit by the public which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 30 minutes to complete, including
`gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary depending upon
`the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form and/or suggestions
`for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,
`U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT SEND FEES OR
`COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria,
`Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection
`of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
