`REMARKS/ARGUMENTS
`
`The above amendment to the Specification updates the priority claim to include the
`
`application serial numbers and filing dates.
`
`Applicants respectfully submit
`
`that the priority claim including serial numbers was
`
`included with the present application as filed, as the Transmittal Letter filed with the application
`
`included such information.
`
`Further the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has correctly
`
`identified the priority in the Filing Receipt received, which indicates priority to U.S. Patent
`
`Application No. 12/015,320, filed January 16, 2008, U.S. Patent Application No. 10/947,755,
`
`filed September 23, 2004 and U.S. Patent Application No. 09/537,812, filed March 28, 2000.
`
`Thus it is respectfully submitted that no petition is needed for the above amendment, per
`
`M.P.E.P. §201.11V (“...the Oflice will not require a petition and the surcharge under 37 CFR
`
`1.1 7(t) to correct the benefit claim if the information concerning the benefit claim contained
`
`elsewhere in the application was recognized by the Ofiice as shown by its inclusion on a filing
`
`receipt. ”), and per this section of the M.P.E.P., the Specification is amended above.
`
`Also provided herewith is an Information Disclosure Statement that includes various
`
`comments filed by third party Requesters (on December 20, 2010 and February 11, 2011) in
`
`pending reexaminations of patents related to the present application, and documents in
`
`connection with these comments.
`
`It is respectfully requested that the Examiner consider these
`
`documents.
`
`In view of these remarks,
`
`the application is now in condition for allowance and the
`
`EXaminer’s prompt action in accordance therewith is respectfully requested. The Commissioner
`
`is authorized to charge any additional fees or credit any overpayment to Deposit Account No. 20-
