`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Double Patenting
`
`1.
`
`The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially created
`
`doctrine grounded in public policy (a policy reflected in the statute) so as to prevent the
`
`unjustified or improper timewise extension of the “right to exclude” granted by a patent
`
`and to prevent possible harassment by multiple assignees. A nonstatutory
`
`obviousness-type double patenting rejection is appropriate where the conflicting claims
`
`are not identical, but at least one examined application claim is not patentably distinct
`
`from the reference claim(s) because the examined application claim is either anticipated
`
`by, or would have been obvious over, the reference claim(s). See, e.g., In re Berg, 140
`
`F.3d 1428, 46 USPQ2d 1226 (Fed. Cir. 1998); In re Goodman, 11 F.3d 1046, 29
`
`USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Longi, 759 F.2d 887, 225 USPQ 645 (Fed. Cir.
`
`1985); In re Van Ornum, 686 F.2d 937, 214 USPQ 761 (CCPA 1982); In re Vogel, 422
`
`F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); and In re Thorington, 418 F.2d 528, 163
`
`USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969).
`
`A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321 (c) or 1.321(d)
`
`may be used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on a nonstatutory
`
`double patenting ground provided the conflicting application or patent either is shown to
`
`be commonly owned with this application, or claims an invention made as a result of
`
`activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement.

`
`Art Unit: 2618
`
`Effective January 1, 1994, a registered attorney or agent of record may sign a
`
`terminal disclaimer. A terminal disclaimer signed by the assignee must fully comply with
`
`37 CFR 3.73(b).
`
`2.
`
`Claims 1-20 are provisionally rejected on the ground of nonstatutory
`
`obviousness-type double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 1, 16, and 28 of
`
`copending Application No. 11/697833 Although the conflicting claims are not identical,
`
`they are not patentably distinct from each other because both application disclose
`
`similar subject matter of an Internet radio broadcast apparatus enable the user to
`
`access an Internet radio site over a communication network.
`
`This is a provisional obviousness-type double patenting rejection because the
`
`conflicting claims have not in fact been patented.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
`
`3.
`
`The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that
`
`form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
`
`A person shall be entitled to a patent unless —
`
`(e) the invention was described in (1) an application for patent, published under section 122(b), by
`another filed in the United States before the invention by the applicant for patent or (2) a patent
`granted on an application for patent by another filed in the United States before the invention by the
`applicant for patent, except that an international application filed under the treaty defined in section
`351 (a) shall have the effects for purposes of this subsection of an application filed in the United States
`only if the international application designated the United States and was published under Article 21(2)
`of such treaty in the English language.
`
`4.
`
`Claims 1-5, 7-9, 11-16, and 18-20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(e) as being
`
`anticipated by Mankovitz (US Pat No 5,949,492).

`electronic device to select a desired mode of operation from a plurality of modes of
`
`operation comprising an Internet radio mode of operation and an additional content
`
`source mode of operation; receive and play the Internet radio broadcast when the
`
`desired mode of operation is the Internet radio mode of operation; and play the audio
`
`content from the additional content source when the desired mode of operation is the
`
`additional content source mode of operation (see fig. 8, fig. 9, col. 7/In. 35-col. 4/In. 19).
`
`As per claims 7, 11, and 18, Mankovitz disclose the control system is further

`
`song in real-time while the song is playing; receive the supplemental information from
`
`the remote server; and present the supplemental information to the user of the
`
`electronic device (see col. 2/In. 61-col. 3/In. 57).
`
`As per claims 2-5, 9, 13-16, an 20, Mankovitz discloses the plurality of additional
`
`content sources comprises at least two of a group consisting of: broadcast radio (see
`
`col. 1/In. 911), an optical disc (see col. 8/In. 54-col. 9/In. 35), a playlist (see col. 35/In.
`
`65-col. 36/In. 21, col. 38/In. 25-46), and a data storage device of the electronic device
`
`(see col. 8/In. 54-col. 9/In. 35).
