`
`Copy of Prior Application as Filed Which is Attached
`
`I hereby verify that the attached papers are a copy of what is shown in my
`
`records to be the above-identified prior application, including the Declaration as
`
`originally filed (37 CFR 1 .53). No amendments referred to in any Declaration filed to
`
`complete the prior application introduced new matter in that application.
`
`The attached copy of the papers of the parent application includes 45 pages of
`
`specification, 8 pages of claims (20 claims), 1 page of Abstract, 19 sheets of drawings,
`
`and signed Declaration (1 page) and Power of Attorney (2 pages). The attached
`
`drawings are copies of the formal drawings filed in the parent applications and
`
`correspond to the drawings originally filed with the parent applications.
`
`2.
`
`Amendments
`
`The copy of the application includes the amendments made during prosecution
`
`of the parent applications and includes a revised/updated Cross Reference to Related
`
`Applications and new Abstract.
`
`The attached copy includes new claims 1-20, which replace the claims of the
`
`parent patent application. Claims 1-14 correspond to withdrawn claims 41-54 of U.S.
`
`patent application Serial No. 13/776,091, filed February 25, 2013.

`
`Notice Regarding Prosecution relative to Parent Application
`
`This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Serial No.
`
`13/776,247, filed February 25, 2013, which is part of the continuation chain noted
`
`above. Applicants note from controlling case law that disclaimer of subject matter
`
`made during an earlier prosecution can be rescinded, permitting recapture of the

`
`disclaimed scope, so long as sufficiently clear notice is given to the U.S. Patent and
`
`Trademark Office, so that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office can consider any prior
`
`disclaimer and any previously cited relevant prior art Hakim v. Cannon Avent Group,
`
`PLC et al., 47 F.3d 1313, 1398 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (affirming the district court grant of
`
`summary judgment of non-infringement based on a limiting claim construction per file
`
`wrapper estoppel in a parent application where the patentee had in the child application
`
`not expressly rescinded any disclaimer effect of prosecution in the parent application).
`
`Therefore, this is to provide such clear notice to the U.S. Patent and Trademark
`
`Office that for purposes of the present application only, Applicants hereby rescind any
`
`disclaimer and argument, express or implied, made during the prosecution of the
`
`above-referenced prior application. Accordingly, Applicants respectfully note for the
`
`record that any arguments, disclaimers, and/or other actions taken with regard to the
`
`claims prosecuted in the above-referenced U.S. Patent Applications are not to be
`
`imputed or otherwise applied to the claims in the present application unless expressly
`
