`DETAILED CORRESPONDENCE
`
`Continued Examination under 37 C.F.R. § 1.114
`
`1.
`
`A requestfor continued examination under 37 C.F.R. § 1.114, including the fee
`
`set forth in 37 C.F.R. § 1.17(e), wasfiled in this application after allowance or after an
`
`Office action under Ex Parte Quayle, 25 U.S.P.Q. 74, 453 0.G. 213 (Comm'r Pat.
`
`1935). Since this application is eligible for continued examination under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`1.114, and the fee set forth in 37 C.F.R. § 1.17(e) has been timely paid, prosecution in
`
`this application has been reopened pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.114. Applicant's
`
`submissionfiled on September 6, 2017, has been entered.
`
`Information Disclosure Statement
`
`2.
`
`The information disclosure statement (IDS) submitted on September6, 2017,
`
`wasfiled after the mailing date of the Notice of Allowance on August 30, 2017. The
`
`submissionis in compliance with the provisions of 37 C.F.R. § 1.97. Accordingly, the
`
`information disclosure statement is being considered by the examiner.
`
`3.
`
`The information disclosure statementfiled on September 6, 2017, has been
`
`considered by the examiner.
`
`Allowable Subject Matter
`
`Claims 16-29 are allowed.
`
`Thefollowing is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance:
`
`the
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`referenceslisted on the IDS filed September 6, 2017, which have been considered by
`
`the examiner, do not disclose, teach, fairly suggest, or render obvious the claimed kit,
`
`whentaken alone or in combination with any of the prior art. Accordingly, the prior art
`
`doesnot disclose, teach, orfairly suggest a porous zirconia article that shows a N2
`
`
`
`Application/Control Number: 14/429,205

`
`Page 3
`
`adsorption and desorption of isotherm type IV according to IUPAC classification and a
`
`BET surface from about 10 to about 200 m?/g in combination with claim 16 as a whole.
`
`Furthermore, the kit described in claim 16 would not have been obvious to one of
`
`ordinaryskill in the art at the time of the invention. Claims 17-29 are allowed for the
`
`same reasons because they depend on claim 16.
`
`Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later
`
`than the paymentof the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably
`
`accompanythe issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled “Comments on
`
