`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Double Patenting
`
`A rejection based on double patenting of the "same invention" type finds its
`
`support in the language of 35 U.S.C. 101 which states that "whoever invents or
`
`discovers any new and useful process ... may obtain a patent therefor ... " (Emphasis
`
`added). Thus, the term "same invention," in this context, means an invention drawn to
`
`identical subject matter. See Millerv. Eagle Mfg. Co. , 151 U.S. 186 (1894); In re Vogel,
`
`422 F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); and In re Ockert, 245 F.2d 467, 114 USPQ
`
`330 (CCPA 1957).
`
`A statutory type (35 U.S.C. 101) double patenting rejection can be
`
`overcome by canceling or amending the claims that are directed to the same
`
`invention so they are no longer coextensive in scope. The filing of a terminal
`
`disclaimer cannot overcome a double patenting rejection based upon 35 U.S.C.
`
`101 .
`
`Claims 1-28 are provisionally rejected under 35 U.S.C. 101 as claiming the same
`
`invention as that of claims 37-58 of copending Application No. 14529978. This is a
`
`provisional statutory double patenting rejection since the claims directed to the same
`
`invention have not in fact been patented.

`

`
`Furthermore, the nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially
`
`created doctrine grounded in public policy (a policy reflected in the statute) so as to
`
`prevent the unjustified or improper timewise extension of the "right to exclude" granted
`
`by a patent and to prevent possible harassment by multiple assignees. A nonstatutory
`
`double patenting rejection is appropriate where the claims at issue are not identical, but
`
`at least one examined application claim is not patentably distinct from the reference
`
`claim(s) because the examined application claim is either anticipated by, or would have
`
`been obvious over, the reference claim(s). See, e.g., In re Berg, 140 F.3d 1428, 46
`
`USP02d 1226 (Fed. Cir. 1998); In re Goodman, 11 F.3d 1046, 29 USP02d 2010 (Fed.

`
`A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321 (c) or 1.321 (d)
`
`may be used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on a nonstatutory
`
`double patenting ground provided the reference application or patent either is shown to
`
`be commonly owned with this application, or claims an invention made as a result of
`
`activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. A terminal
`
`disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321 (b).
`
`The USPTO internet Web site contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be
`
`used. Please visit http://www.uspto.gov/forms/. The filing date of the application will
`

`
`patenting as being unpatentable over claims 1-36 of copending Application 14529978.
`
`Although the conflicting claims are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from
`
`each other because all the claimed limitations recited in the present application are
`

`
`Claim Rejections- 35 USC§ 103
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the
`claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102 of this title, if the
`differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed
`invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed
`invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains.
`Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
`
`Claims 1-28 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over
`
`Streenstra et al. (US Publication No. 20060047825) in view of Mayer (US Publication
`
`No. 20030093405).
`
`As to claims 1 and 13, Streenstra teaches a computer-implemented method
`
`comprising: receiving user selection of a group of one or more users on an interactive
`
`display of a first device wherein each user is associated with a respective second
`
`device (pp0038, fig. 4, display selection of the list of Osocial users, and pp0019);
`
`obtaining a respective location for of each of the second devices (pp0042, provide
`
`locations of active users) ; presenting an interactive map on the display comprising one
`
`or more user-selectable symbols wherein each symbol corresponds to one of the
`
`second devices and is positioned on the map at a location corresponding to the
`
`AG1STX_00003624
`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00513-JRG Document 244-21 Filed 12/18/18 Page 11 of 16 PageID #: 15475
`
`Application/Control Number: 14/633, 764
`Art Unit: 2646
`
`Page 9
`
`respective location of the second device (fig. 5, shows icon 502 or 504 of users and
`
`their locations on the activity map); and identifying user interaction with the display
`
`specifying an action and, based thereon, initiating a communication with the second
`
`devices (pp0048, send invitation, and pp0025, user input). However, Streenstra fails to
`
`explicitly teach obtaining a respective contact information for of each of the second
`
`devices.
`
`In an analogous field of endeavor, Mayer teaches obtaining a respective
`
`contact information for of each of the second devices (fig. 9, dates currently online
`
`includes email address or telephone number). Thus it would have been obvious to one
`
`of ordinary skill in the art at time invention was made to combine the teachings of
`
`Streenstra with the teachings Mayer to achieve the goal of efficiently and reliably
`
`enhancing flexible communication between users in a communication system (Mayer,
`
`pp0009).
`
`As to claims 2 and 14, Streenstra in view of Mayer teaches the limitations of the
`
`independent claims as discussed above. Mayer further teaches wherein a particular
`
`communication is a phone call, a short message service message, a voice message, a
`
`text message, a command to convert text to an electronic mail message, an image, or a
`
`video (pp0070, pp0076, and pp0090, different communication protocol).
`
`As to claims 3 and 15, Streenstra in view of Mayer teaches the limitations of the
`
`independent claims as discussed above. Mayer further teaches wherein the group of
`
`users is within a user-specified distance from a current location of the first device
`
`(pp0072, and claim 40, distance to the potential date).

`
`Page 10
`
`As to claims 4 and "16, Streenstra teaches wherein each user is associated with
`
`a same category (pp0037, matched profile).
`
`As to claims 5 and "17, Streenstra in view of Mayer teaches the limitations of the
`
`independent claims as discussed above. Mayer further teaches further comprising:
`
`identifying user interaction with the display selecting a user; and adding the selected
`
`user to the group (pp0019, and claim 4, add user to contactee list).
`
`As to claims 6 and "18, Streenstra teaches further comprising: identifying user
`
`interaction with the display specifying a new symbol and a location of the new symbol;
`
`presenting the new symbol on the map at the specified location (fig. 5, shows icon 502
`
`or 504 of users and their locations on the activity map) ; and sending the new symbol
`
`and the location to the second devices wherein each of the second devices is
`
`configured to present the new symbol on an interactive map at the specified location
`
`(fig. 5, shows icon 502 or 504 of users and their locations on the activity map).
`
`As to claims 7 and "19, Streenstra in view of Mayer teaches the limitations of the
`
`independent claims as discussed above. Streenstra further teaches the concept of
`
`removing the selected symbol from the presentation of the map (fig. 5, shows icon 502
`
`or 504 of users and their locations on the activity map and pp0045, expanding or
`
`shrinking the activity map). Mayer further teaches further comprising: identifying user
`
`interaction with the display specifying user to be deleted (pp0064, pp0065, delete user
`
`from list, and update contactee list); removing the selected user from the list (pp0064,
`
`pp0065, delete user from list, and update contactee list); and sending information
`
`identifying the user to the second devices wherein each of the second devices is

`
`update contactee list, and send the update to all people who have him/her on their
`
`contactee list).
`
`As to claims 8 and 20, Streenstra in view of Mayer teaches the limitations of the
`
`independent claims as discussed above. Streenstra further teaches the concept of
`
`further comprising : identifying user interaction with the display selecting a new symbol
`
`and associating the new symbol with content (fig. 5, shows icon 502 or 504 of users and
`
