`Docket No.: 300099
`37 CFR § 1.103(e)
`:
`Filed: June 16, 2015
`For: NATURAL SPAN REFLECTOMETRY WITH HELICAL FIBER
`
`A litigation search performed by the Office on 14 October 2016 found concurrent
`
`litigation involving U.S. Patent No. 7,030,971 (‘971 Patent’), the subject of the above-
`
`referenced reissue proceeding. (See attached October 2016 Litigation Search). A response filed
`
`13 April 2017 by Applicant (“April 2017 Response’”’) to a non-Final Office action mailed 18
`
`October 2016 indicates that the ‘971 Patent is involved in concurrentlitigation. (See April 2017
`
`Responseat 20).
`
`MPEP 1442.02 provides, in relevantpart:
`
`To avoid duplicating effort, action in reissue applications in which there is an indication of
`concurrent litigation will be suspended sua sponte unless and until it
`is evident
`to the
`examiner,or the applicant indicates, that any one of the following applies:
`(A) a stay of the litigation is in effect;
`(B) the litigation has been terminated;
`(C) there are no significant overlapping issues between the application and the litigation; or
`(D)it is applicant’s desire that the application be examinedat that time.
`Where noneof (A) through (D) above apply, action in the reissue application in which thereis
`an indication of concurrentlitigation will be suspended by the examiner.
`
`In view of the concurrentlitigation and pursuant to MPEP 1442.02, prosecution in the
`
`above-referenced reissue proceeding is SUSPENDED FOR A PERIOD OFSIX (6) MONTHS
`
`from the date of this letter. Upon expiration of the period of suspension, applicant should make
`
`an inquiry as to the status of the application. Any inquiry concerning this decision should be
`
`directed to Timothy Speer whose telephone numberis (571) 272-8385.

`fram a continuum of locations along the span because of innate fiber properties including Rayleigh scattering.
`This is picked off the launch end and heterodyned to produce a r.f. beat sianal. The rf. beat signal is processed
`by @ plurality (which can be thousands} of correlator type binary pseudonaise code sequence demodulators
`respectively operated in different delay time relationships to the timing base of the reiterated modulation
`sequences. The outputs of the demodulators provide r.f. time-dornain reflectometry outputs representative of
`signals (¢.g., acoustic pressure waves) Incident to virtual sensors along the fiber at positions correspanding ta

`(0007 } fhe present invention relates generally to the field of tirne-domain reflectorneters. More specifically, it
`relates to such reflectometers which are a part of a photonic systern application in which the object of the
`reflectometry is a span of fiber which has an interrogation signal iaunch end and a remote end. The invention
`enables the provision of a linear array of virtual sensors along the span. One particular type of application toward
`which the invention is directed are acoustic security alarm systerns in which the span serves as a perimeter

`POOUS8H 2) Description of the Prior Art
`
`PG0e9TThe U.S. Department of the Navy has been engaged in the development of towed acoustic arrays which
`are reflectometric systems in which the obiect of the reflectometry is a flber span having an interrogation signal
`launch end and a remote end. One such development involves farming a towed array of acoustic sensors along
`the span by the costly process of irradiating Bragg reflective gratings into the fiber cable. These reflective
`gratings form the array of sensors of the reflectometry scheme of these systems. These towed arrays have a
`length of the order of at least 1.0 kr, and the need to irradiate the fiber has resulted in the fiber spans costing
`hundreds of thousands of dollars each.
`
`fO0i0}The Department of the Navy development activities have been further tasked to apply their creative efforts
`to homeland defense problerns. As part of this effort there is under consideration the use of a reflectometerin
`which a fiber span is the object of the reflactometry. In this scheme, the fiber span provided with acoustic
`sensors would be used as an intrusion detector to monitor the perimeter of an area desired to be secure, The
`span lengths for this type of application include lengths of the order of 5 km, (inks of a U.S. border protection
`network, oll line protection, chemical plant protection, etc.). In such perime
