`
`Ex Parte Reexamination — Advisory Action
`
`After-final amendment and remarksfiled 11/29/2022 (hereinafter “AF remarks”) have
`
`been entered and considered.
`
`Althoughitem 2 of the Form PTO-467 indicates the Appeal Briefis due in (2)
`
`months from the date of the Notice ofAppeal filed on 11/29/2022, as aresult of 1-month
`
`Extension of Time (see petition decision mailed 1/24/2023), the Appeal Brief due dateis
`
`extended(1) additional month from 1/29/2023 to 2/28/2023.
`
`Claims 1, 2, 8, 9, 11-19, 24, 26-29 and newly addedclaims 30-59 of United States Patent
`
`Number 10,637,968 (hereinafter “the ‘968 Patent) were pending review in this merged ex parte
`
`reexamination. Claims 3-7, 10, 20-23, and 25 are not subject to reexamination.
`
`Upon entry of the after final amendment, claims 6, 7, 23, 25 which werepreviously
`
`amended are now shown with proper markings, and new claim 59 has been cancelled.
`
`Accordingly, claims 1, 2, 8, 9, 11-19, 24, 26-29 and newly added claims 30-58 are currently
`
`pending.
`
`Entry of the after-final response simplifies the issues since claim 59 has been cancelled,
`
`making the rejection of claim 59 under §112 1% paragraph moot and hereby withdrawn.
`
`Additionally, as noted by PO (AF remarks, p. 16) and on page 9 of Final Office action
`
`mailed 9/29/2022, PO’s previous response inadvertently did not address the 103 rejections based
`
`on the MorphMix reference which are now submitted for consideration. The Examiner has
`
`entered the after-final remarks and considered the newly presented arguments directed to the
`
`MorphMix reference (AF remarks 19-49) to complete the record. However, the arguments are
`
`not found persuasive. PO contentions rely on an overly narrow interpretation of the claimed
`
`client device, server, and second server that would require improper importing of limitations

`

`Art Unit: 3992
`
`Page 3
`
`(including negative limitations)
`
`into the claims. For these reasons, the arguments are not found
`
`persuasive and the rejection of claims 1, 2, 8, 9, 11-18, 26-28, 30, 31, 37, 38, 40-44, 46, 47, and
`
`55-57 under § 103 as being unpatentable over MorphMix in view of RFC 2616 is maintained
`
`(the §103 rejection of claim 59 is withdrawn since claim 59 is now cancelled). Also, the
`
`rejection of claims 24 and 53 under 103 as being unpatentable over MorphMix in view of RFC
`
`2616 and Cottrell is maintained.
`
`It is additionally noted that PO states:
`
`In the previous response dated June 16, 2022, Patent Owner attempted to make certain
`clerical amendments and to add claims 30-59. The amendments were not entered.
`
`(AF remarks, p. 14)
`
`However,this statement is inaccurate.
`
`In the Final Office action mailed 9/29/2022, all of the
`
`June 16, 2022 amendments were entered and considered as noted in the first paragraph of the
`
`Final Office action on page 2. While the Final Office action did note that the amendment
`
`markings were not in compliance on pages 4-5, the amendment was entered and considered.
