`Docket No.: MOC-00 l
`
`REMARKS
`
`Claims 1-63 were presented for examination and were rejected. In the present
`
`Amendment, claims 1-3, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14-16, 20, 22, 23, 25-27, 31, 33, 34, 36-38, 40, 45, 48, 49,
`
`51, 56, and 59-63 are amended, claims 5, 6, 8, 17, 18, 21, 28, 29, 32, 39, 43, 44, 46, 47, 50, 54,
`
`55, 57, and 58 are canceled without prejudice or disclaimer, and new claims 64-81 are added.
`
`No new matter is added. Su ort for the claims amendments and new claims can be
`
`found for examRle in U.S. Patent No. 7 630 724 e.g'-' col. 9:31-47· col. 10:57 - 11: 15 col
`
`12: 12-62· col. 15:7-8· flG. 4 . It is noted that the '724 patent was incorporated by reference into
`
`the present application at the time of the present application 's filing.
`
`Amendments to the Specification
`
`The specification is amended herein to correct an error in the priority claim. In particular,
`
`the priority claim has been corrected to indicate that the present application is a continuation-in(cid:173)
`
`part (rather than a continuation) of U.S. Application No. 14/027,410. The same correction is
`
`included in the Corrected Application Data Sheet (ADS) filed herewith. MPEP § 211.03 states
`
`that no petition or surcharge is required for correcting a timely submitted benefit claim to correct
`
`the indicated relationship between applications from "continuation" to "continuation-in-part."
`
`Accordingly, entry of the correction and issuance of an updated Filing Receipt are respectfully
`
`requested.
`
`ln addition, for the Examiner' s benefit, it is noted that a Petition to Accept an
`
`Unintentional ly Delayed Priority Claim Under 35 U.S.C. § 120 was filed in U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,364,129 ("the ' 129 patent") on September 21, 2015. The present application claims priority to
`
`the ' 129 patent, and claims priority through the ' 129 patent to other issued patents identified in
`
`the Petition. A copy of the Petition is filed herewith, for the Examiner' s reference.
`
`Claim Rejections Under 35 U.S.C. § 112(a)
`
`Claims 1, 15, 26, 37, and 48 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112(a) as purportedly
`
`failing to comply with the written description requirement. In particular, the Office Action (p. 3)
`
`indicated that the following limitation lacked adequate written description support: "for each of
`
`the devices, based on passage of a pr·edetermined time interval since receiving information
`
`comprising a location of the device, a displacement of the device by a predetermined
`
`distance relative to a previous location of the device, or both, receiving from the device
