`
`SUPPLEMENTAL DETAILED ACTION
`
`The amendment and a TD filed on 8l16i2011 have been entered. Claims 1-34,
`
`66-72, 74 and 76 have been canceled. Claims 35-65, 73 and 75 remain for
`
`examination.
`
`This Office Action is needed to correct the dependency of claim 75 which is
`
`reciting cancel claim 74 in line 5. The correct supports are found in claim 73.
`
`EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
`
`An examiner's amendment to the record appears below. Should the changes
`
`andior additions be unacceptable to applicant, an amendment may be filed as provided
`
`by 37 CFR 1.312. To ensure consideration of such an amendment, it MUST be
`
`submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee.
`
`Authorization for this exarniner’s amendment was given in a telephone interview
`
`with Mr. Babak Kusha (Reg. 51,095) on 12i2i2D11.
`
`The application has been amended as follows:
`
`In the claims,
`
`Claim 75, line 5. replace “claim 74” with - - claim 73 - -.
`
`The correct claim should read as follows:
`
`75. (currently amended) A data access terminal for retrieving data
`from a data supplier and providing the retrieved data to a data carrier,
`the terminal comprising:
`
`16
`
`

`

`Applicationicontrol Number: 12i943.872
`Art Unit: 2887
`
`a first interface for communicating with the data supplier,-
`
`a data carrier interface for interfacing with the data carrier,-
`
`a program store storing the code of ciaim 73; and
`
`a processor coupled to the first interface, the data carrier interface,
`and the program store for implementing the stored code.
`
`Attowable Subject Matter
`
`Claims 35-65. 73 and 75 are allowed.
`
`The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject
`
`matter: The amendment and the TD filed on 8i16i2011 have vacated the obvious
`
`double patenting grounds of rejection on the claims. Accordingly, the prior art fails to
`
`disclose a data access terminal comprising the interface, the data carrier, the processor
`
`and the program store for storing the codes in the manner as recited in claim 35. The
`
`prior art also fails to disclose the limitations of claims 46, 51, 58, 62 and 73.

`
