`
`The present application is being examined under the pre-AIA first to invent
`
`provisions.
`
`1.
`
`This application claims priority of the provisional application:
`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`60/654,060 with a filing date 02/16/2005.
`
`2.
`
`Claims 1-6 are pending in the application.
`
`Double Patenting
`
`The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially 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. See 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. 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 Thorington,
`
`418 F.2d 528, 163 USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969).
`
`A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321 (c) may be
`
`used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on a nonstatutory double
`
`patenting ground provided the conflicting application or patent is shown to be commonly
`
`owned with this application. See 37 CFR 1.130(b).
`
`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).

`
`3.1
`
`Claims 1-6 are rejected under the obviousness-type double patenting
`
`over claims 1 and 6-8 of Baker et al. US 7,582,621, or over claims 35, 38-39 and 41 -
`
`42 of Baker et al. US 8,889,656 respectively.
`
`Applicants claims methods of use for treating Tinea unguium infection of a toenail
`
`in a human using a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound 1,3-dihydro-5-
`
`fluoro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole, see claim 1. Dependent claims 2-6 further limit the
`
`scope of methods of use, i.e., the Tinea unguium infection is due to Trichophyton
`
`rubrum or Trichophyton mentagrophytes, see claims 2-6.
`
`Baker et al. ‘621 claims methods of use for treating Tinea unguium infection of on
`
`nail in a human using a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound 1,3-
`
`dihydro-5-fluoro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole, see columns 67-68.
`
`Baker et al. ‘656 claims methods of use for treating Tinea unguium infection of on
`
`nail in a human using a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound 1,3-
`
`dihydro-5-fluoro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole, see columns 69-70.
`
`The difference between the instant claims and Baker et al. ‘621 or ‘656 is that
`
`Baker et al. ‘621 or ‘656 methods of use for treating fungus infection broadly. Baker et
`
`al. ‘621 or ‘656 methods of use overlap with the instant invention.
`
`One having ordinary skill in the art would find the claims 1-6 prima facie obvious
`
`because one would be motivated to employ the methods of use of Baker et al. ‘621 or
`
`‘656 to obtain instant invention. Dependent claims 2-6 are also rejected along with claim
`
`1 under the obviousness-type double patenting.

`
`The motivation to make the claimed methods of use derived from the known
`
`methods of use of Baker et al. ‘621 or ‘656 would possess similar activity to that which
`
`is claimed in the reference.
`
`3.2
`
`Claims 1-6 are provisionally rejected under the obviousness-type double
`
`patenting over claims 1-2 of Baker et al. co-pending applications number 15/091 ,394,
`
`or over claims 1, 4, 19, 25, 29-30 and 34-35 of Baker et al. co-pending applications

`
`Baker et al. ‘394 claims methods of use for treating Trichophyton rubrum or

`Trichophyton mentagrophytes infection of on nail in a human using a pharmaceutical
`
`composition comprising a compound 1,3-dihydro-5-fluoro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole,
`

`
`Baker et al. ‘052 claims methods of use for treating Trichophyton species
`

`
`compound of formula (llc), see claims 1, 4, 19, 25, 29-30 and 34-35.

`
`composition comprising a compound 1,3-dihydro-5-fluoro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole,
`
`see claims 1 and 16-17.
`
`The difference between the instant claims and Baker et al. ‘394, ‘052 or ‘322 is
`
`that Baker et al. ‘394, ‘052 or ‘322 methods of use for treating fungus infection broadly.
`
`Baker et al. ‘394, ‘052 or ‘322 methods of use overlap with the instant invention.
`
`One having ordinary skill in the art would find the claims 1-6 prima facie obvious
`
`because one would be motivated to employ the methods of use of Baker et al. ‘394, ‘052
`
`or ‘322 to obtain instant invention. Dependent claims 2-6 are also provisionally rejected
`
`along with claim 1 under the obviousness-type double patenting.
`
`The motivation to make the claimed methods of use derived from the known
`
`methods of use of Baker et al. ‘394, ‘052 or ‘322 would possess similar activity to that
`
`which is claimed in the reference.
`
`This is a provisional obviousness-type double patenting rejection because the
`
`conflicting claims have not in fact been patented.
