`
`Statement under 37 CFR 1.55 or 1.78 for AlA (First Inventor to File) Transition Applications: Yes
`
`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no
`effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent
`in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an international
`application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international
`patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional documents and fees in countries where patent
`protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an
`application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ
`in various respects from the patent law of the United States, applicants are advised to seek guidance from specific
`foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely.
`
`Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States, the Director of the USPTO must
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a U.S. patent application
`serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing receipt contains further information and
`guidance as to the status of applicant's license for foreign filing.
`
`Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, "General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically, the
`section entitled "Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for filing foreign

`
`under the first inventor to file provisions of the AlA.

`Claims 7 and 19 objected to because of the following informalities: Claims 7 and
`
`19 depends on canceled claims 6 and 18 respectively. Appropriate correction is

`
`depends from claims 1 and 13 respectively.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102

`The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that
`
`form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
`
`A person shall be entitled to a patent unless -
`
`(a)(2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under
`
`section 151, or in an application for patent published or deemed published under
`
`section 122(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names
`
`another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the
`
`claimed invention.
`
`Claims 1-3, 5, 8-15, 17, and 20-30, are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 1 02(a)(2) as

`
`location to one or more other devices (fig. 1 A and fig. 1 B, and fig. 5, #506, receive
`
`location of each member), wherein each of the other devices is configured to display a
`
`respective symbol representing the location on a respective map (fig. 4, and pp0064,
`
`display icon of each car on map 406) ; receiving from a first device information
`
`indicating user selection of one or more of the displayed symbols corresponding to
`
`second devices and, based thereon (fig. 5, #509, #51 0, and pp0063, pp0070,
`
`touching icon to car): obtaining a respective contact information for each of the
`
`second devices (fig. 5, #511, and pp0045, cellular telephone number of member);
`
`and facilitating a respective communication between the first device and each of the
`
`second devices using the contact information of the second device (fig. 5, #512, and
`
`pp0063, pp0070, make a telephone call to the selected member).
`
`As to claims 2, 14, 28, and 30, Melen teaches wherein a particular

`As to claims 5 and 17, Melen teaches wherein particular contact information is a
`
`phone number or an Internet Protocol address (fig. 5, #511, and pp0045, cellular

`telephone number of member).
`
`As to claims 8 and 20, Melen teaches wherein a particular device is a smart
`

`computer (pp0003, vehicles are equipped with cellular telephones).
`
`As to claims 9 and 21, Mel en teaches further comprising: receiving a request for
`
`a map from a third device wherein the request comprises one or more parameters and
`
`wherein a parameter specifies a map location (fig. 1 B, fig. 4, each vehicle includes
`
`navigation system 300, fig. 5) or a zoom indication; obtaining a second map that
`
`conforms to the attributes; and sending the second map to the third device location (fig.
`
`1 B, fig. 4, each vehicle includes navigation system 300, fig. 5).
`
`As to claims 10 and 22, Melen teaches wherein the first device does not have
`
`access to the phone numbers or Internet Protocol addresses of the second devices
`
`(pp0072, request permission).
