Read this before the table
This is one reading, on one model, of one public file. Re-running the same reading can produce a different report, because the reader is a language model. Every quotation is checked against the paper's text. Verified means the words are in the paper as quoted; not verified means they are not, usually because the model shortened a quotation with an ellipsis or the scan was misread, and the practitioner should look at the paper.
The reader reports what the paper says and never whether a rejection was right or an amendment needed. Nothing here is a legal determination, and it is not a substitute for a licensed practitioner's judgment.
The rejections, as the reader reported them
| Claims | Ground | References | Quotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19-20 | 35 U.S.C. 101 | none | Claims 19-20 are rejected under 35 USC 101 because the claimed invention is directed to non-statutory subject matter... The specification is silent to limit that such medium exclude signals. Therefore covers transitory propagating signal per se (non-statutory subject matter). See In re Nuijten... (not verified) |
| 1-12 and 19-20 | nonstatutory double patenting | U.S. Patent No. 11,847,178 | Claims 1-12 and 19-20 are rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over the claims 1-12 and 19-20 of prior U.S. Patent No. 11,847,178... they are not patentably distinct from each other because they are directed to substantially the same invention. (not verified) |
| 13-18 | statutory double patenting | U.S. Patent No. 11,847,178 | Claims 13-18 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 101 as claiming the same invention as that of claims 13-18 of prior U.S. Patent No. 11,847,178. (verified) |
A quotation marked not verified usually carries an ellipsis where the model shortened the examiner's sentence. That is the case the check exists for: the reading points you back to the paper rather than presenting a shortened sentence as the examiner's own.
The examiner's reasons for allowance
Verified against the paper. The limitations the reasons credit, quoted by the reader:
Verified.
