One real reading

What a reading actually looks like

The record reader over the Non-Final Rejection and the Notice of Allowance of application 18/541,216, a public, granted Patent Center file, captured on 2026-09-30 on qwen3.5:9b running locally and printed here unedited.

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

ClaimsGroundReferencesQuotation
19-2035 U.S.C. 101none 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 19-20nonstatutory double patentingU.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)
13-18statutory double patentingU.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

After further searches and consideration the Examiner concluded that the claimed invention has been recited in such a manner that the independent claim is not thought by any prior art of record. Independent claims 1, 13 and 19 are considered allowable since when reading the claim in light of the specification, none of the prior art of record either alone or in combination fairly disclose or suggest the combination of limitations specified in the independent claims

Verified against the paper. The limitations the reasons credit, quoted by the reader:

generating, for each concept clip of a set of concept clips, an embedding, wherein the set of concept clips corresponds to a concept searched by a user; generating a concept embedding based on the embeddings of the set of concept clips; determining a semantic relationship between the concept embedding and one or more document embeddings that each correspond to a document clip of a set of documents; and based on the determined semantic relationship, providing, for display at a client device, an indication of the semantic relationship between the concept and one or more document clips of the one or more document embeddings.

Verified.
