`
`Reasons for Patentability
`
`Claim 21 is the single claim subject to reexamination in this proceeding.
`
`
`(a) Office Action of March 31 2015: Claim 21 was rejected under pre—AlA 35 U.S.C.
`
`§103(a) as being unpatentable over Spaur et al (U.S. Patent 5,732,074) in View of Kniffen et al
`
`(U.S. Patent 6,072,402). Upon further analysis of Patent Owner's arguments of June 1, 2015, and
`
`reconsideration of the facts and evidence, it has been found that this rejection would result in a
`
`system unsatisfactory for its intended purpose, and thus would not have been obvious. See In re
`
`G0m'c>iz, 733 F.2d 900, 221 USPQ 1125 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
`
`111 particular, the prior art combination
`
`wouid result in a system w.‘uere.
`
`the third device (see office acti<_m at p. 3) would lack a
`
`mechanism to receive or szontr-:,~E the direction of signals to the appr-:,~pri ate devices on the vehicle.
`
`The proposed combination would thus produce a device which is esseutiaily non--crperationai,
`
`anti thus unsatisfactory for its inteiideti purpose. Accerdiiagiy, this rejection is hereby ‘v"<1€.7{it(-Ed.
`
`(b) Spaur et a1 + Kniffen et a1 + Add a duplicate
`
`phone to device #3: Examiners
`
`considered the question of whether it would have been obvious to further modify the
`
`combination of Spaur et al and Kniffen et al to place a duplicate cellphone at the third device.
`
`However, upon making this analysis, it was found that the proposed combination would still be
`
`non—operational. In particular, a second cell phone added to the third device (office action at p.3)
`
`would be capable of receiving signals, but have no capacity to determine where the received
`
`signals are supposed to be directed. The proposed CO.ml_?_i!“i§i‘i.i0‘U wouid thus produce a device
`
`which rerhains IIOH-O}3‘tL1‘13.'li,%3'f1£ii, and thus uusati.sfactoi'y for its itttentied purpose.

`
`(c) Spaur et al + Kniffen et al + Add a duplicate phone to device #3 + Add a controller to
`
`Device #3: Examiners considered the question of whether it would have been obvious to further
`
`modify the combination of Spaur et al and Kniffen et al to place a duplicate cellphone at the third
`
`device, as well as a controller to direct signals to the appropriate devices. However, this would
`
`result in multiple equipment redundancies that are not suggested by either Spaur et al or Kniffen
`
`et al. The combination would also not otherwise provide definable advantages or improvement
`
`so as to suggest obviousness to the person of ordinary skill in the art. in re Ser:mi<e:t*, 702 F.3d
`
`EH39, 994-95, 217 U.‘§iPQ l, 5~6 (Fed. Cir. E983). See also i3_w:a:" 'I+'2,s*zi:ffti:"ben (Ls‘mb}f <32: C0.

`
`In re 1’!/1:130:25)‘, 411 F.2d 1321, 1323, 162 USPQ 98, 100 (CCFA l9<i-9). KSR inf’? Ca. V. Teiefie.t

`
`(d) (Ether Relevant Prior Art: iiiizaarninem: have also eonsit}e1‘ed the ;:=ri-or art ret'erence to
`
`Raniono (US Patent 5,070,320). Claim 21 recites:
`
`“..wherein the first processing device determines whether an action or an operation
`
`associated with information contained in the second signal,
`
`to at least one of activate, de-
`
`activate, disable re—enable, and control an operation of, the at least one of a vehicle system, a
`
`vehicle equipment system, a vehicle component, a vehicle device, a vehicle equipment, and a
`
`vehicle appliance,
`
`is an authorized or an allowed action or an authorized or an allowed
`
`operation,..”
`
`Ramono recites a mobile security device 18 used by authorized personnel, but not a
`
`processing device where “the first processing device determines whether an action or an
`
`5
`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 90/013,303
`
`Page 4
`
`Art Unit: 3992
`
`operation associated with information contained in the second signal... is an authorized or an
`
`allowed action or an authorized or an allowed operation,..”'
`
`(e) Given these considerations, claim 21 is confirmed as patentable over the prior art of
`
`record in this proceeding.
`
`Reasons for NIRC Action
`
`MPEP 2287 states:
`
`the examiner must prepare a
`“Upon conciusion oi‘ the we pame reexamination pl‘-J§&3€€.£il,l’1§_£/,
`“l‘\lnE,ice oi’ lnteni.
`to lssene Ex P¢:;rre Rf.?€:.>§a.f}:}_i}‘1£i‘i‘.l-011 Certifiea.ie” (l‘\llRC) by eonnfaietirig form
`P'i"OL--469. If appropriate, an e)»:aminer’s amendment will also he prepared. Where elainis are
`found patentable, reasons must be given for each eiaiin fotind pa.tenta'bie.’”
`
`Since claim Iii is the only claim subject to reexainiiiation and has been "found patentable,
`
`prc-secution is hence eonciuded by issiiaiiee of this l‘~.?lE'{C action.
