`
`In the Final Office Action, Examiner Zewdu rejected pending claims 11-30 on
`vanous grounds. The Applicant responds to each rejection as subsequently recited
`herein, and respectfully requests reconsideration and further examination of the
`present application under 37 CFR 4 1.114:
`
`A
`
`Examuner Zewdu rejected claims 11, 18, 21, 28 and 29 under 35
`U.S.C. §112, 1 for failmy to comply with the written description
`requirement
`.
`
`The Applicant has amended claims 11, 18, 21, 28 and 29 herein to correctly
`recite “deblocking code” Withdrawal ofthe rejection of claims 11, 18, 21, 28 and
`29 under 35 U.S.C, §112, 91 for failing to comply with the wntten description is
`therefore respectfully requested.
`
`B.
`
`Exuminer Zewdu rejected clams 1] and 13-30 under 35 U.S.C.
`§103(a) as being unpatentable over U.S. Patent No.5,913,175 to
`Pinault in view of U.S. Patent No. 6,095,416 10 Granr et al.
`
`The Applicant has thoroughly considered Examiner Zewdu’s remarks
`conceming the patentability of claims |) and 13-30 over Pinauir in view of Grant.
`The Applicant has also thoroughly read Pinaw/r and Gram. To warrant this 35 U.S.C.
`$103(a) rejection ofclaims 141 and 13-30,all the clarm limitations recited in
`independent claims 11, 20 and 27 must be taught or suggested by the combination of
`Pinault and Grant. See, MPEP §2143. The Applicant respectfully traverses this

`
`
`
`As to the traversal, Examiner Zewdu has correctly recognized Pinau/t’s failure
`10 disclose, teach or sugyest the aforementioned limitanons of independent claims 11,
`20 and 27. A proper reading of Grany reveals that Grant also fails 10 teach or suggest
`the aforementioned limutations of independent claims 11, 20 and 27.

`
`Specifically, Grant discloses authonzation cards having a default disabled
`state and an enabled state, where the curds revert from the enabled stare to a default
`disabled state after a predetermined period of time. See, Grant at column 3,lines 54-
`66. Ina first embodiment as illustrated in FIGS. 4(a) and.4(b) of Granz, a removal of
`pressure from a polymer 36 allows polymer 36 to return to its original shape that
`corresponds to the default disabled state. See, Grant at column 6,lines 11-19. Grans
`clearly fails to teach or sugyest a retuminy ofpolymer 36 to its originul shape as being
`a function ofan inactivity of a device.
`in a second embodiment as ilustrated in FIG. 7(c) of Grant, a sufficrent
`charge bleed off'a capacitor 106 reverss the card to the default disabled state. Sec,
`Grantat column 10,lines 43-48. Grunt clearly fails to teach or suggest blecding of
`capacitor 106 as being a function ofan inactivity of a device.
`ina third embodimentag illustrated in FIG, 9(¢) of Grant, a removal of
`
`pressure from a membrane 214 allows membrane 214to return to its original shape
`that corresponds to the default disabled state. See, Grans at column 11, lines 28-40.
`Grant clearly fails to teach or suggest a returning of membrane 214 10 its original
`
`shape as being a function of an inactivity of a device.
`The following working example of Grantclurifies the failure of Grant to teach
`or suggest the aforementioned limitahons of independent claims 11,20 and 27.
`In
`this example,the authorization cardof Grant is a credit catd mounted within a credit
`card reader. In accordance with the teachings ofGrant, an entering ofa correct PIN |
`number on the credit card via the reader enables the reader to perform credit
`,
`operations based on the confidenual informanon ofthe credit card of Grant, which,
`reverts to a disabled state after a predetermined periad of time after the entering of the
`correct PIN, This predetermined period of time 15 clearly not dependent upon an
`active state or inactive state of the credit card reader aa required by independent
`
`claims 11, 20 and 27 of the present invention. Specifically, a user ofthe credit card
`reader can be actively using the confidential information ofthe enabled credit card to
`make a purchase, yet the predetermined time period is not delayed, frozen or

`otherwise affected by this type ofactivity. Conversely, a user of the credit card reader
`can be indecisive as to whether or nor to use the confidentia) information of the
`
`enabled credit curd 10 make a purchase whereby the credit card reader is inactive, yet
`ihe predeterminedtime period is not delayed, frozen or otherwise affected bythis type
`of inactivity.
`:
`Thus, the combination ofPinau/t and Grant does not teach or suggest the
`aforementioned limitations of independent claims 11, 20 and 27.
`Moreover, the Applicant respectfully asserts that Pinauli aches away from
`the combination ofPinault and Grani as asserted by Examiner Zewdu, because
`Pinauit teaches its objective is to provide # method that does not require users to enter
`their PIN code each time they insert their user card imo the terminal and the
`termnal/user card link of Pinay: is dependent, firstly, on first dara stored on the
`linked user card and, secondly, on a calculation function specific to the terminal. See,
`Pinault at column 3, line 12 to column 6, line 67. Thus, to modify Pinawli ta force a
`user to enter a PIN each time the user wanted to use the card and to make time a
`
`factor in an otherwise time insensitive scheme would improperly change the principle
`operation of Pinault.
`Withdrawal ofthe rejection of independent claims 31, 20 and 27 under
`§103(a) as being unpatentable overPindudt in view OfGrant is therefore respectfully
`requested.
`Claims 13-19 depend from independent claim 11. Therefore, dependent
`claims 13-19 include all of the elements and Jimitanons of independent claim 1]. Iris
`therefore respectfully submited by the Applicant that dependent claims 13-19 are
`allowable over Pinault in view of Graarfor at |east the same reason as set forth with
`
`respect to independent claim 11 being allowable over Pinuw/s in view of Grant.
`Wuhdrawalofthe rejection ofdependent claims 13-19 under U.S.C. §103(a) as being
`patentable over Pinauilt in view of Grant is therefore respectfully requested.
