`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C.154 (b)
`(Applications filed on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`Section l(h)(2) of the AIA Technical Corrections Act amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(B)(i) to eliminate the requirement
`that the Office provide a patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. See Revisions to Patent
`Term Adjustment, 78 Fed. Reg. 19416, 19417 (Apr. 1, 2013). Therefore, the Office is no longer providing an initial
`patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. The Office will continue to provide a patent term
`adjustment determination with the Issue Notification Letter that is mailed to applicant approximately three weeks prior
`to the issue date of the patent, and will include the patent term adjustment on the patent. Any request for reconsideration
`of the patent term adjustment determination (or reinstatement of patent term adjustment) should follow the process
`outlined in 37 CFR 1.705.
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Term Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the Office of
`Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be
`directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at 1-(888)-786-0101 or (571 )-272-4200.

`0MB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and Budget
`approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When 0MB approves an agency request to
`collect information from the public, 0MB (i) provides a valid 0MB Control Number and expiration date for the
`agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the agency to inform
`the public about the 0MB Control Number's legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`or retain a benefit by the public which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 30 minutes to complete, including
`gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary depending upon
`the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form and/or suggestions
`for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,
`U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT SEND FEES OR
`COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria,
`Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection
`of information unless it displays a valid 0MB control number.
`Privacy Act Statement
`
`The Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-579) requires that you be given certain information in connection with your
`submission of the attached form related to a patent application or patent. Accordingly, pursuant to the requirements
`of the Act, please be advised that: (1) the general authority for the collection of this information is 35 U.S.C. 2(b)
`(2); (2) furnishing of the information solicited is voluntary; and (3) the principal purpose for which the information
`is used by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is to process and/or examine your submission related to a patent
`application or patent. If you do not furnish the requested information, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may not
`be able to process and/or examine your submission, which may result in termination of proceedings or abandonment
`of the application or expiration of the patent.
`
`The information provided by you in this form will be subject to the following routine uses:
`1. The information on this form will be treated confidentially to the extent allowed under the Freedom of
`Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C 552a). Records from this system of records may
`be disclosed to the Department of Justice to determine whether disclosure of these records is required by the
`Freedom of Information Act.
`2. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, in the course of presenting evidence

`a request involving an individual, to whom the record pertains, when the individual has requested assistance
`from the Member with respect to the subject matter of the record.
`4. A record in this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to a contractor of the Agency having
`need for the information in order to perform a contract. Recipients of information shall be required to comply
`with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(m).
`5. A record related to an International Application filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty in this system of
`records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property
`Organization, pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty.
`6. A record in this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to another federal agency for purposes of
`National Security review (35 U.S.C. 181) and for review pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act (42 U.S.C. 218(c)).
`
`7. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to the Administrator, General Services,
`or his/her designee, during an inspection of records conducted by GSA as part of that agency's responsibility
`to recommend improvements in records management practices and programs, under authority of 44 U.S.C.
`2904 and 2906. Such disclosure shall be made in accordance with the GSA regulations governing inspection
`of records for this purpose, and any other relevant (i.e., GSA or Commerce) directive. Such disclosure shall
`not be used to make determinations about individuals.
`8. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to the public after either publication of
`the application pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 122(b) or issuance of a patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 151. Further, a record
`may be disclosed, subject to the limitations of 37 CFR 1.14, as a routine use, to the public if the record was filed
`in an application which became abandoned or in which the proceedings were terminated and which application
`is referenced by either a published application, an application open to public inspection or an issued patent.
`9. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to a Federal, State, or local law
`enforcement agency, if the USPTO becomes aware of a violation or potential violation of law or regulation.

`
`Detailed Action
`
`1.
`
`This Action is in response to Applicant's on amendment filed June 17, 2020.
`
`Claims 4-7, 10, 14-17 and 20 have been canceled, claims 21-30 have been newly
`
`added, therefore, claims 1-3, 8, 9, 11-13, 18, 19 and 21-30 are now pending in the
`
`present application.
`
`America Invents Act (AJA) Information
`
`2.
`
`The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined
`
`under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA.
`
`Allowable Subject Matter
`
`3.
`
`Claims 1-3, 8, 9, 11-13, 18, 19 and 21-30 are allowed.
`
`4.
`
`The following is an Examiner's statement of reasons for allowance:
`
`Consider claims 1-3, 8, 9, 11-13, 18, 19 and 21-30, the newly found reference of
`
`TURTINEN; Samuli et al. (US 20180376375 A 1 ), made of record herein, teaches a
`
`method and apparatus comprising transmitting, by a user device to a base station in a
`
`wireless network, a system information request for on-demand system information
`
`during a random access procedure, where the system information request is a request
`
`for one or more parameters that enable the user device to communicate in the wireless
`
`network, receiving, by the user device from the base station, an indication of a wait
`
`period in which the user device waits before obtaining the on-demand system
`
`information, waiting, by the user device, a time duration during the wait period, and
`
`monitoring, by the user device after expiration of the wait period, a system information
`
`

`
`Page 3
`
`window in which a system information message having the on-demand system
`
`information is broadcasted by the base station.
`
`However, after the amendment to claims 1 and 11, Applicant's remarks have
`
`been considered and found to be persuasive. In agreement with the Applicant's
`
`remarks, the prior art failed to disclose or suggest each and every limitation recited in
`
`claims 1-3, 8, 9, 11-13, 18, 19 and 21-30 of the claimed invention when considered as a
`
`whole. And further in view of Applicant's arguments and remarks regarding the
`
`transmitting the SI request message and determining that the UE is in a connected
`
`state, presented on pages 9 of response filed on June 17, 2020.
`
`Any comments considered necessary by Applicant must be submitted no later
`
`than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably
`
`accompany the issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled "Comments on
`
`Statement of Reasons for Allowance."
