`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Double Patenting
`
`..
`
`j•
`
`The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially created
`1.
`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.
`1~~5); In re Van Omum, 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.
`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).
`Claims 12 and 22 are rejected on the ground of nonstatutory obviousness-type
`2.
`
`double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 22 and 16, respectively of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 5,952,801 . Although the conflicting claims are not identical, they are not
`
`patentably distinct from each other because the subject matter does not vary. Why the
`
`claim may be worded slightly different, there is no difference in the subject matter being
`
`claimed. It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to provide the claim language in either application to cover the same subject
`
`matter.

`
`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 1-35 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(e) as being anticipated by Wang
`
`(5,982, 124).
`
`Wang discloses an apparatus and method for controlling motion of a motor
`
`driven element in a vehicle over a range of motion and for altering said motion when
`
`undesirable resistance to said motion is encountered , said apparatus comprising: a
`
`sensor (30) for measuring a parameter of a motor coupled to the motor driven element
`
`that varies in response to a resistance to motion during all or part of a range of motion
`
`of the motor driven element; a memory (50) for storing a number of measurement
`
`values from the sensor based on measurements of said parameter over at least a
`
`portion of said range of motion; a switch (22) coupled to said controller for controlling
`
`energization of the motor with an energization signal; and a controller (24) coupled to
`
`the memory for determining to de-activate the motor based on the measurement values
`
`stored in the memory as the motor driven element moves over its range of motion; and
`
`a controller interface (26) coupled to the motor for altering motion of said motor driven
`
`element in response to a determination made by the controller. Wang also discloses an
`
`apparatus and method for controlling motion of a motor driven element in a vehicle over
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 1 On65,487
`Art Unit: 2837
`
`Page4
`
`a range of motion and for altering said motion when undesirable resistance to said
`
`motion is encountered, said method comprising, measuring a parameter of a motor
`
`coupled to the motor driven element that varies in response to a resistance to motion
`
`during all or part of a range of motion of the motor driven element by taking a multiplicity
`
`of measurements as the motor moves the motor driven element over its range of motion
`
`(abstract and colu column 4, line 53 through column 5, line 11 ); storing a number of
`
`measurement values based on measurements of said parameter over at least a portion
`
`of said range of motion (column 5, line 56 through column 6, line 11); determining that
`
`the parameter is outside a parameter range based on previous stored measurement
`
`values as the motor driven element moves over its range of motion (column 4, lines 16-
`
`52); and altering motion of said motor driven element in response to a determination
`
`that the parameter is outside the parameter range (column 4, lines 16-31 and column 7,
`
`lines 35-50). Wang further discloses the method, wherein the motor driven element is
`
`a window or panel and additionally comprising reverse actuating the window or panel
`
`prior to moving said window or panel in a direction to close the window or panel
`
`(abstract; and column 4, lines 15-31). Wang further discloses the method, additionally
`
`comprising maintaining a position of the window or panel based on the sensed
`
`parameter and the reverse actuation is initiated if a leading edge of the window or panel
`
`is near a closed position and wherein movement is first initiated toward a closed
`
`position when a leading edge of the window or panel is near the closed position and
`
`wherein the reverse actuation is performed upon a sensing 6f an obstacle that is based
`

`
`on determining the parameter is outside the parameter range (column 3, line 22 through
`
`column 4, line 45; and column 5, lines 12-32). Wang discloses the apparatus, wherein
`
`the sensor for generating a speed signal comprises a Hall-effect sensor and wherein the
`
`sensor for generating a speed signal comprises a magnetic pick-up (column 2, lines 51-
`
`59).
