`
`COMMENTS ON STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE
`
`Commissioner for Patents
`P.O. Box 1450
`
`Alexandria, VA 22313
`
`Madam:
`
`Applicant submits this Comments on Statement of Reasons for Allowance to address
`
`further the Notice of Allowability (“Notice”) having a mailing date of May 19, 2015.
`
`In the Notice, the EXaminer’s stated reasons for allowance were that:
`
`Claims 19-21, 23-25, 27-31 and 33-49 are allowed.
`
`The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: none of
`the prior art discloses or suggests that a method, in a multicarrier transceiver,
`comprising: transmit data during the low power mode and a receiver portion of
`the transceiver receives data during the low power mode, wherein the transceiver
`is a device that is capable of transmitting or receiving internet and video data;
`storing, during the low power mode, at least one parameter associated with a full
`powcr modc.
`
`Based on the Notice, the patentability of all other independent and dependent claims is
`
`assumed to be based upon the elements as set forth in such claims and that such claims meet all
`
`criteria for patentability under §l01, §l02, §l03 and §l 12.
`
`As is clear from MPEP l302.l4,
`
`Attorney Docket No.: 6936-28—CON—9
`
`Dish
`Exhibit 1003, Page 6
`
`

`

`“The statement [of reasons for allowance] is not intended to necessarily state all
`the reasons for allowance or all the details why claims are allowed and should not
`be written to specifically or implicdly state that all the reasons for allowance are
`set forth.”
`
`While the stated Reasons for Allowance may be a stated reason for allowing some
`
`independent claims, Applicant submits that some independent claims have a different reason for
`
`allowance and that some independent claims have other reasons for allowance.
`
`Specifically, the prior art fails to teach the specific combination of features as recited in
`
`the independent claims 20-21, 24-25, 28-31, and 34-37.
`
`Although the Applicant believes that no fees are due for filing this Comments on
`
`Statement of Reasons for Allowance, please charge any fees deemed necessary to Deposit
