`
`COMMENTS ON STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE
`
`In the Notice of Allowability mailed on June 2, 2014, the
`
`Examiner allowed claims 21, 37, 39 - 42, 46 and 47. Applicant
`
`acknowledges the Examiner's Statements of Reasons for Allowance of the
`
`above-referenced patent application, and agrees that the claimed subject
`
`matter is patentable. However, applicant takes no position regarding the
`
`Reasons
`
`for Allowance presented by the Examiner other
`
`than the
`
`positions applicant may have previously taken during prosecution.
`
`Therefore, the Examiner's Reasons for Allowance should not be attributed
`
`to applicant as an indication of the basis for applicant’s belief that the
`
`claims are patentable. Furthermore, applicant respectfully asserts that
`
`there may also be additional
`
`reasons for patentability of the claimed
`
`subject matter not explicitly stated in this record, and applicant does not
`
`waiveits rights to such arguments by not further addressing such reasons
`
`herein.
