`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`1.
`
`This application claims benefit of the provisional application:
`
`60/654 ,060 with a filing date 02/16/2005.
`
`2.
`
`Amendment of claims 27 and 40, cancellation of claims 1-26 and 32-39, 41, and
`
`addition of claims 43-47 in the amendmentfiled on January 23, 2009 is acknowledged.
`
`Claims 27-31, 40, and 42-47 are pending in the application. No new matteris found.
`
`Since the newly added claims 43-47 are commensurate with the scope of the invention,
`
`claims 27-31, 40, and 42-47 are prosecuted in the case.
`
`3.
`
`The rejection of claims 27-31, 40 and 42 under 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph
`
`Reasonsfor Allowance
`
`has been overcome in the amendmentfiled on January 23, 2009.
`
`4.
`
`Applicant's arguments regarding the rejection of claims 27-31, 40, and 42 under
`
`35 U.S.C. 103(a) over Austin et al. ‘024 in view of Answre.com filed on January 23,
`
`2009 have been fully considered and they are persuasive. Since Austin et al. ‘024 or
`
`Answre.com doesnotdisclose the instant invention of methods of usefor treating
`
`infection in an animal, therefor the instant invention is distinct from Austin et al. The
`
`rejection of claims 27-31, 40, and 42 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) over Austin et al. ‘024 in
`
`view of Answre.com has been withdrawn herein. Since claim 41 has been canceled,
`
`the rejection of claim 41 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) is obviated herein.
`
`5.
`
`Since claims 53-54 and 58 of Baker et al. co-pending application No. 11/505,591
`
`have been canceled, the provisional rejection of claims 27-31, 40, and 42 underthe

`

`
`obviousness-type double patenting over Baker et al. co-pending application No.
`
`11/505,591 has been withdrawn herein.
`
`6.
`
`Claims 27-31, 40, and 42-47 are neither anticipated nor rendered obvious over
`
`the art of record, and therefore are allowable. A suggestion for modification of above
`
`reference to obtain the instant methods of use has not been found. Claims 27-31, 40,
`
`and 42-47 are allowed.
`
`Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later
`
`than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably
`
`accompany the issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled “Comments on
`
`Statement of Reasons for Allowance”.

`HI. Responseto the rejections
`
`35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, enablement (5.1)
`
`Claims 27-31 and 40-42 are rejected for lacking enablement because the
`
`specification, while being enabling for using the compoundsof claim 27 for treating fungal
`
`infections, allegedly does not reasonably provide enablementfor using the compoundsof claim
`
`27 for preventing infection.
`
`Solely to expedite prosecution, Applicants have amended claim 27 to removethe
`
`phrase ‘or preventing’. Applicants reserve the right to pursue this subject matter in another
`
`application, such as a continuation or a divisional.
`
`In light of this amendment, Applicants respectfully request withdrawal of the
`
`rejection.

`
`17, 2008, for “fungicide” on Answers.com.

`
`claimed. Austin states that “The present invention relates to the use of oxaboroles andsalts
`
`thereof as industrial biocides...” Col. 1, lines 6-8. A previouscitation in the literature (FR
`
`. useful in inhibiting the growth of micro organisms
`.
`7329370) “discloses that an oxaboroleis .
`in aviation fuels.” Col. 1, lines 39-45. Austin suggests that the disclosed compounds
`“containing an oxaborole ring are particularly effective against .
`.
`. fungi, especially fungi which
`cause degradation of plastics materials.” Col. 1, lines 46-50.
`
`Austin contemplates using oxaboroles for “the protection of a medium susceptible
`to microbial attack.” Col. 1, lines 54 & 55. Examples of a “medium” according to Austin
`include “solvent-based paint”, col. 5, line 8; “a plastics material”, col. 5, line 11; “an aqueous
`
`medium”col. 5, line 15. Austin suggests use of oxaboroles in systems such as
`
`liquid, particularly aqueous, systems such as cooling water liquors,
`paper mill liquors, metal working fluids, geological drilling
