`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`The following is a quotation of pre—AlA 35 U.S.C. l03(a) which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set
`forth in section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and
`the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the
`invention was made to a person having ordinary skill iii the art to which said subject matter pertains.
`Patentability shall not be negativecl by the manne1' in which the invention was made.
`
`1. Claims 1-20 are rejected under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable
`
`over Hayes, Jr. et al. (US# 5,974,312) in view of Anderson (US# 5,995,603).
`
`Referring to Claims I-20, Hayes, Jr. et al. disclose an electronic device (100) (ie. a
`
`programmable communicator device) (column 2 lines 18 to 34; see Figure 1) comprising:
`
`a wireless communications circuit (195) having an antenna (1 18) and configured to communicate
`
`over a communications network (column 5 lines 43 to 53; see Figure 2);

`
`Art Unit: 2682
`
`A non-volatile programmable memory (136) (i.e. a programmable identity module)
`
`having an electronic serial number (ESN) (i.e. a unique identifier associated with the
`
`programmable communicator (100)) (column 6 lines 27 to 34; see Figure 2);
`
`A system connector interface (180) (i.e. a programmable interface) connected to at least
`
`one external component (i.e. an attached monitoring device) (column 5 lines 61 to 67; see Figure
`
`2);
`
`A rnic1'o-controller (120) (i.e. a processing module) configured to receive and
`
`authenticate an at least one transmission from a wireless programmer (200) (i.e. a programming
`
`transmitter), the at least one transmission including at least one telephone number or IP address
`
`(see Figures 5A to SC), wherein the processing module (120) is configured to authenticate the at
`
`least one transmission by determining if the at least one transmission contains the ESN (i.e. a
`
`unique identifier).
`
`However, Hayes, Jr. et al. did not explicitly disclose that wherein the programmable
`
`communicator device is configured to use a memory to store at least one telephone number or IP
`
`address included within at least one of the transmissions as a list of one or more linked numbers
`
`to which the programmable communicator device may send outgoing wireless transmissions;
`
`wherein the one or more wireless transmissions from the programming transmitter comprises a
`
`General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or other wireless packet switched data message; and
`
`wherein the programmable communicator device is configured to process data received through
`
`the programmable interface from the at least one monitored technical device in response to
`
`programming instructions received in an incoming wireless packet switched data message.

`
`Art Unit: 2682
`
`At the same field of endeavor of a communication system, Anderson discloses that a
`
`memoly module (52) configured to store the at least one telephone number from the
`
`authenticated transmission as one of a plurality of authorized list of callers to allow phone to
`
`communicate with the incoming callers (column 3 lines 50 to 57; column 5 lines 31 to 45; see
`
`Figure 3 and 5) in order to generate a distinctive ring for the caller or by redirecting the call to a
`
`separate telephone or to an answering machine for only authorized list of callers.
`
`At the time of the invention, it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art to recognize the need to use a memory to store the telephone number from authenticated
`
`signal as an authorized callers taught by Anderson in an the electronic device for updating a
`
`memoly via a wireless data transfer of Hayes, Jr. et al. because having a memory to store the
`
`authorized list of caller would improve an arrangement fo1' screening incoming telephone calls
`
`for convenient of the user.
`
`Using the wireless transmissions f1'om the programming transmitter comprises a General
`
`Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or other wireless packet switched data message; and wherein the
`
`programmable communicator device is configured to process data received through the
`
`programmable interface from the at least one monitored technical device in response to
`
`programming instructions received in an incoming wireless packet switched data message are
`
`well-known.
`
`Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the
`
`invention was made to modify the wireless communication interface fo1' receiving data over the
`
`wireless communication channel Hayes, Jr. et al. in view of Anderson with the GPRS wireless
`
`(cid:51)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72) (cid:28) (cid:82)(cid:73) (cid:20)(cid:22)(cid:19)

`
`transmission because this would provide an alternate wireless communication interface for
`
`wireless data transfer in the programming unit.
`
`Double Parenting
`
`The nonstatutoiy double patenting rejection is based on ajudicially 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 nonstatutoly 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, eg, In re Berg, I40 F.3d 1428, 46 USPQ2d 1226 (Fed. Cir. I998); In re
`Goodman, I 1 F.3d 1046, 29 USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Longs", 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 Thnri'ngron, 418 F.2d 528, 163
`USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969).
`A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR l.32l(c) or l.32l(d) may
`be used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on a nonstatutoiy 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).
`
`2. Claims 1-20 a1'e rejected on the ground of nonstatutory obviousness—type double
`
`patenting as being unpatentable ove1' claims l-134 of U.S. Patent No. 7,583,197.
`
`Although the conflicting claims are not identical, they are not patentably distinct
`
`f1'om each other because:

`
`Referring to independent Claim 1 of the application, the programmable communicator
`
`device includes a wi1'eless communications circuit, a programmable intelface, a processing
`
`module, and a memory module. The different is that the independent Claim 1 of the application
`
`recites wherein the one or more wireless transmissions from the programming transmitter
`
`comprises GPRS o1' other wireless packet switched data message which would be obvious to one
`
`skilled in the art to use for wireless transmissions in the independent claims 1, 29, 40, 68, 79 and
`
`107 of the U.S. Patent No. 7,583,197.
`
`The following claims are patentably similar from each other:

`
`3. Claims 1-20 a1'e rejected on the ground of nonstatutory obviousness-type double
`
`patenting as being unpatentable ove1' claims 1-197 of U.S. Patent No. 8,094,010.
`
`Although the conflicting claims a1'e not identical, they are not patentably distinct
`
`f1'om each other because:
`
`Referring to independent Claim 1 of the application, the programmable communicator
`
`device includes a wireless communications circuit, a programmable interface, a processing
`
`module, and a memory module. The different is that the independent Claim 1 of the application
`
`use alternative languages for the similar limitations as the independent claims I, 52, 104 and 151
`
`of the U.S. Patent No. 8,094,010.
