`Substance of Summary of Interview
`
`Applicant’s representative Jae Yeon (Claire) Baek, Reg. No. 78,258 conducted a
`
`telephone interview with Examiner Sagar Shrestha on March 17, 2020. During the interview,
`
`pending rejections to the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 were discussed in view of the cited
`
`references. Agreement was reached that amendments, as presented herein, to claim 1 overcome
`
`the pending rejections. The examiner also indicated that further search may be required upon
`
`submission of the response.
`
`Response to Objections to Claims
`
`In the Office Action, claims 1 and 15—16 were objected to because of informalities.
`

`
`herein to address the objection. Therefore, withdrawal of the objections is respectfully
`
`requested.
`
`Res onse t0 Re'ection under 35 U.S.C.
`
`103
`
`In the Office Action, claims 1—16 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
`
`unpatentable over various combinations of US. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2016/0231843 (“Kim”
`
`hereinafter), US. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2011/0007042 (“Miyaguchi” hereinafter), US. Pat. App.
`
`29275/43102fl3W/111664753
`
`

`

`Pub. No. 2016/0239050 (“Kim’050” hereinafter), U.S. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2006/0107566 (“Van
`
`Rens” hereinafter), U.S. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2016/0086563 (“Park” hereinafter), U.S. Pat. App.
`
`Pub. No. 2009/0295422 (“Hamer” hereinafter), and U.S. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2012/0008294 (
`
`“Minoo” hereinafter). In View of the following, these rejections should be withdrawn.
`
`Independent claim 1, as amended, recites the feature of “an auxiliary sheet attached
`
`between one end of the display panel and the panel roller, wherein the auxiliary sheet mitigates
`
`the mechanical stress at the edge of the display panel when the display panel is rolled around the
`
`panel roller .
`
`.
`
`. and a first connecting member electrically connected to the control board to
`
`supply a data signal to the display panel.”
`
`None of the cited references disclose, teach or suggest this feature. The Office Action
`
`acknowledges that Kim fails to disclose any element corresponding to “auxiliary sheet” recited
`
`in claim 1. (See the Office Action, page 4, first paragraph.)
`
`Then, the Office Action proceeds to state that Miyaguchi teaches this feature.
`
`Specifically, it is stated in the Office Action that external connection wiring 301 of Miyaguchi
`
`corresponds to the “auxiliary sheet” of claim 1. Contrary to what is stated in the Office Action,
`
`however, the external connection wiring 301 of Miyaguchi corresponds to “a first connecting
`
`member” that comprises “at least one data driver” as recited in amended claim 1. Hence, in
`
`Miyaguchi, there is no component corresponding to the “auxiliary sheet” that couples the display
`
`panel to the panel roller and mitigates the mechanical stress at the edge of the display panel when
`
`the display panel is rolled around the panel roller. Hence, Miyaguchi fails to disclose the feature
`
`of “an auxiliary sheet attached between one end of the display panel and the panel roller, wherein
`
`the auxiliary sheet mitigates the mechanical stress at the edge of the display panel when the
`
`display panel is rolled around the panel roller .
`
`.
`
`. and a first connecting member electrically
`
`29275/43102fl3W/111664753
`
`

`

`connected to the control board to supply a data signal to the display panel,” recited in amended
`
`claim 1.
`
`None of the other references remedy the deficient disclosure of Kim and Miyaguchi. The
`
`remaining cited references relate to features recited in dependent claims. However, none of these
`
`cited references disclose, teach or suggest any components corresponding to “auxiliary sheet” or
`
`“a first connecting member” as recited in amended claim 1.
`
`Therefore, amended claim 1 and its dependent claims are patentably distinguishable over
`
`the cited references. Withdrawal of the cited references is respectfully requested.
`
`Allowable claims
`
`Allowability of claims ll and 13—14 is respectfully acknowledged.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`Based on the foregoing, the application is in condition for allowance of all claims, and a
`
`Notice of Allowance is respectfully requested. If the examiner believes for any reason direct
`
`contact would help advance the prosecution of this case to allowance, the examiner is
`
`encouraged to telephone the undersigned at the number given below.
