`
`COMMENTS ON STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE
`
`Dear Commissioner:
`
`Applicant makes the following comments
`
`in
`
`response to the Examiner’s
`
`description of allowable subject matter in the Notice of Allowance mailed on October5,
`
`2018.
`
`Applicant respectfully disagrees with the Examiner’s statement to the extent that
`
`it may characterize the language or scope of the claims pending in this application or in
`
`any other prior art referenced in the statement. Applicant notes that it is the language of
`
`the claims, not the Examiner’s characterization of the language that determines the
`
`scope of the claims.
`
`Also,
`
`to the extent
`
`that
`
`there is any implication that
`
`the
`
`patentability of the claims rests on the recitation of a single feature or subset of features,
`
`Applicant respectfully disagrees with the Examiner’s statement becauseit is the recited
`
`combination of features that makes the claims patentable.
