`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`1.
`
`This application claims benefit of the provisional application:
`
`60/755,227 with a filing date 12/30/2005; and 60/746,361 with a filing date 05/03/2006.
`
`2.
`
`Amendment of claim 195, cancellation of claims 1-120 and 122-192, addition of
`
`claim 215, and request for a corrected filing receipt in the amendment filed on July 28,
`
`2009 is acknowledged. Claims 121 and 193-215 are pending in the application. No new
`
`matter is found. Since the newly added claim 215 is commensurate with the scope of
`
`the invention, claims 121 and 193-215 are prosecuted in the case.
`
`Reasons for Allowance
`
`3.
`
`The rejection of claim 195 under 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph has been
`
`overcome in the amendment filed on 7/28/2009.
`
`4.
`
`Applicant's arguments regarding the rejection of claims 121 and 193-214 under
`
`35 U.S.C. 103(a) over Austin et al. ‘188 in view of Austin et al. ‘024 filed on May 18,
`
`2009 have been fully considered and they are persuasive. Since Austin et al. ‘188
`
`does not disclose the instant pharmaceutical composition, therefore Austin et al. ‘188 is
`
`distinct from the instant invention. The rejection of claims 121 and 193-214 under 35
`
`U.S.C. 103(a) over Austin et al. ‘188 in view of Austin et al. ‘024 has been withdrawn
`
`herein.
`
`5.
`
`Claims 121 and 193-215 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 pharmaceutical compositions has not been found.
`
`Claims 121 and 193-215 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”.
