`
`Applicant recognizes that in accordance with M.P.E.P. § 1302.14, the Examiner's
`
`reasons for allowance need not set forth all of the details as to why the claims are
`
`allowed. Applicant does not concede that the Examiner's stated reasons for allowance are
`
`the only grounds for patentability of the allowed claims or that any element excluded
`
`from the Examiner’s Reasons for Allowance is taught or suggested by the art of
`
`record. Further, Applicant does not concede that all of the elements identified by the
`
`Examiner are necessary to distinguish the prior art of record or to satisfy the requirements
`
`of 35 U.S.C. § 112. In addition, the Examiner does not assert, and Applicant would not
`
`concede, that the Examiner‘s reasons have any bearing on the patentability of claims in
`
`any other applications directed to the disclosed subject matter.
`
`Each dependent claim stands on its own and is allowable on its own merits. In
`
`particular, each dependent claim may be allowable on the basis of a combination of some
`
`of the features recited in the dependent claim and its base claim(s), which combination of
`
`features may not include all of the elements identified in the Examiner's reasons for
`
`allowance.
