`
`COMMENTS ON STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE
`
`Applicant thanks the Examiner for the Notice of Allowance mailed on May23, 2012.
`
`Without withdrawing the allowed claims from issue, Applicant submits the following comments
`
`on the Examiner’s Statement of Reasons for Allowance that accompanied the Notice of
`
`Allowance.
`
`In the Examiner’s Statement, the Examiner made certain characterizations and assertions
`
`about the claims and the related prior art. Although Applicant agrees with the Examiner’s
`
`ultimate conclusion that the claims are patentable over the prior art of record, Applicant does not
`
`necessarily agree with the characterizations and assertions contained in the Examiner's statement.
`
`For example, the Examinerstated that the claims are allowable because certain features
`
`of the independentclaims 1, 12, and 17 are not taught by the cited art. See pp. 2-3. Applicant
`
`respectfully submits that each of the allowed claimsis patentable based on the subject matter
`
`defined by the claim language and the combination ofrecitations within the claims, not solely
`
`
`
`Application No. 13/269,234
`Attorney Docket No. 10494.0003-01000
`
`because of the specific features referenced by the Examiner. The claims recite combinations and
`
`features not referenced in the Examiner’s Statement that provide further bases for distinguishing
`
`the prior art of record.
`
`Should the Examiner disagree with these comments, the Examineris invited to contact
`
`the undersigned, to discuss the same.
