`
`Double Patenting
`
`The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially created
`doctrine groundedin public policy (a policy reflected in the statute) so as to prevent the
`unjustified or improper timewise extension of the “right to exclude” granted by a patent
`and to prevent possible harassment by multiple assignees. A nonstatutory
`obviousness-type double patenting rejection is appropriate where the conflicting claims
`are not identical, but at least one examined application claim is not patentably distinct
`from the reference claim(s) because the examined application claim is either anticipated
`by, or would have been obvious over, the reference claim(s). See, e.g., In re Berg, 140
`F.3d 1428, 46 USPQ2d 1226 (Fed. Cir. 1998); In re Goodman, 11 F.3d 1046, 29
`USPQe2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Longi, 759 F.2d 887, 225 USPQ 645 (Fed. Cir.
`1985); In re Van Ornum, 686 F.2d 937, 214 USPQ 761 (CCPA 1982); In re Vogel, 422
`F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); and /n re Thorington, 418 F.2d 528, 163
`USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969).
`A timelyfiled terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(c) or 1.321 (d)
`may be used to overcome an actualor provisional rejection based on a nonstatutory
`double patenting ground provided the conflicting application or patent either is shown to
`be commonly ownedwith this application, or claims an invention made asa result of
`activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement.
`Effective January 1, 1994, aregistered attorney or agent of record may sign a
`terminal disclaimer. A terminal disclaimer signed by the assignee mustfully comply with
`37 CFR 3.73(b).
`

`
`Claims 5-12 are provisionally rejected on the ground of nonstatutory
`
`obviousness-type double patenting as being unpatentable over claim 1 of copending
`
`Application No. 12/477,158 in view of Routley et al. (2009/0201281 A1).

`
`circuit -to the self-light-emitting element of the each of the plurality of pixels so that the
`
`same constant current flows through eachofthe self- light-emitting elements of the

`
`Routley et al. teaches means for controlling one of a reference voltage anda
`
`power supply voltage when the voltage detected by the voltage/characteristics detection
`
`means exceedsa threshold voltage in order to keep an operation region of the driver
`
`transistor to the saturation region in every one ofthe plurality of pixels (fig. 4, items
`
`$402-S406, pars. 0015-0018,0022,0049) and constant current is supplied from a
`
`constant current supplying circuit -to the self-light-emitting element of the each of the
`
`plurality of pixels so that the same constant current flows through each ofthe self- light-
`
`emitting elements of the plurality of pixels(fig. 3, item 340, pars. 0041-0042).
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention incorporate teaching of Routley et al. into Application 12/477,158 in order to
`
`reduce a power consumption (par. 0001 in the Routley et al. reference).
`
`Claims 6-12 depend on claim 5.
`
`Drawings
`
`1.
`
`The drawings are objected to under 37 CFR 1.83(a). The drawings must show
`
`every feature of the invention specified in the claims. Therefore, the newly introduced
`
`limitation of independentclaims 1,5: “so that the same constantcurrent flows through
`
`eachofthe self- emitting elements of the plurality of pixels” must be shown orthe
`
`feature(s) canceled from the claim(s). No new matter should be entered.

`
`Corrected drawing sheets in compliance with 37 CFR 1.121(d) are required in
`
`reply to the Office action to avoid abandonmentof the application. Any amended
`
`replacement drawing sheet should includeall of the figures appearing on the immediate
`
`prior version of the sheet, even if only one figure is being amended. Thefigure or figure
`
`number of an amended drawing should not be labeled as “amended.”If a drawing figure
`
`is to be canceled, the appropriate figure must be removed from the replacement sheet,
`
`and where necessary, the remaining figures must be renumbered and appropriate
`
`changes madeto the brief description of the several views of the drawings for
`
`consistency. Additional replacement sheets may be necessary to show the renumbering
`
`of the remaining figures. Each drawing sheet submitted afterthefiling date of an
`
`application must be labeled in the top margin as either “Replacement Sheet” or “New
`
`Sheet” pursuant to 37 CFR 1.121(d). If the changes are not accepted by the examiner,
`
`the applicantwill be notified and informed of any required corrective action in the next
`
`Office action. The objection to the drawings will not be held in abeyance.
`
`Specification
`
`2.
`
`The specification is objected to as failing to provide proper antecedentbasis for
`
`the claimed subject matter. See 37 CFR 1.75(d)(1) and MPEP § 608.01(0). Correction
`
`of the following is required:
`
`The newly introducedlimitation of independent claims 1, 5: “so that the same
`
`constant current flows through eachofthe self- emitting elements of the plurality of
`
`pixels” is not described in Specification.

`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
`
`The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112:
`
`The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and processof
`making and usingit, in suchfull, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the
`art to whichit pertains, or with whichit is most nearly connected, to make and use the same and shall
`set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention.
`
`3.
`
`Claims 1-12 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph, asfailing to
`
`comply with the written description requirement. The claim(s) contains subject matter
`
`which wasnot described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably conveyto
`
`one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor(s), at the time the application wasfiled,
`
`had possession of the claimed invention.
`
`The newly introducedlimitation of independent claims 1, 5: “so that the same
`
`constant current flows through eachofthe self- emitting elements of the plurality of
`
`pixels” is not described in Specification or shownin Figures.
`
`Claims 2-4, 6-12 depend on claims 1,5.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
`
`The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that
`
`form the basis for the rejections underthis section madein this Office action:
`
`A personshall be entitled to a patent unless —
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 12/477,155
`Art Unit: 2629
`
`Page 8
`
`(e) the invention was described in (1) an application for patent, published under section 122(b), by
`another filed in the United States before the invention by the applicant for patent or (2) a patent
`granted on an application for patent by another filed in the United States before the invention by the
`applicant for patent, except that an international application filed under the treaty defined in section
`351 (a) shall have the effects for purposesof this subsection of an application filed in the United States
`onlyif the international application designated the United States and was published under Article 21 (2)
`of suchtreaty in the English language.
`
`4.
`
`Claims 1-2 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(e) as being anticipated by Routley
`
`et al.
`
`Asto claim 1, Routley et al. teaches an image display device (PAR. 0001),
`
`comprising:
`
`a plurality of pixels each including a self-light-emitting element and a driver
`
`transistor for driving the self-light-emitting element(fig. 1, items 152,158), the driver
`
`transistor being driven in a saturation region (fig. 2a, items 202-208, pars. 0011,0018);
`
`a plurality of signal lines through which an image voltage is input to the plurality
`
`of pixels (fig. 3, items 320,344);
`
`voltage detection means for detecting a voltage across the self-light-emitting
`
`elementof eachof the plurality of pixels, which is observed when a constant currentis
`
`supplied from a constant current supplying circuit (fig. 3, item 340, pars. 0041-0042) to
`
`the self-light-emitting element of the each of the plurality of pixels (figs. 3-4, items
`
`312,5400, par. 0048) so that the same constantcurrent flows through eachofthe self-
`
`emitting elements of the plurality of pixels (fig. 3, item 340, pars. 0041-0042); and
`
`means for controlling one of a reference voltage and a powersupply voltage
`
`whenthe voltage detected by the voltage detection means exceedsa threshold voltage
`
`in order to keep an operation region of the driver transistor to the saturation region in
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 12/477,155
`Art Unit: 2629
`
`Page 9
`
`every one ofthe plurality of pixels (fig. 4, items S402-S406, pars. 0015-0018, 0022,
`
`0049).
`
`As to claim 2, Routley et al. teaches OLED (par. 0002).
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousnessrejections setforth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set
`forth in section 102 ofthis title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and
`the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the
`invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains.
`Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was made.
`
`5.
`
`Claim 3 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Routley
`
`et al. in view of Jo (6,806,497 B2).
`
`Routley et al. does not disclose a plurality of selection control lines; a plurality of
`
`lighting switch lines; and a plurality of detection control lines, wherein the each of the
`
`plurality of pixels includes: a selector switch transistor which is connected between a
`
`gate electrode of the driver transistor and a secondelectrode of the drivertransistor; a
`
`capacitor element which is connected betweenthe gate electrodeof the driver transistor
`
`and oneofthe plurality of signal lines that is associated with that capacitor element; a
`
`lighting transistor which is connected between the secondelectrodeof the driver
`
`transistor and one of electrodesof the self-light-emitting element; and a detection
`
`transistor which is connected betweenthe oneofthe electrodes of the self-light-emitting
`
`element and one ofthe plurality of signal lines that is associated with that detection
`
`transistor, wherein the selector switch transistor has a gate electrode connected to one
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 12/477,155
`Art Unit: 2629
`
`Page 10
`
`of the plurality of selection control lines that is associated with that selector switch
`
`transistor; the lighting transistor has a gate electrode connected to one ofthe plurality of
`
`lighting switch lines that is associated with thatlighting transistor; and the detection
`
`transistor has a gate electrode connected to one of the plurality of detection control lines
`
`that is associated with that detection transistor.
`
`Jo teaches a plurality of selection control lines (fig. 3, item SL1); a plurality of
`
`lighting switchlines (fig. 3, item SL2); and a plurality of detection control lines (fig. 3,G1-
`
`G2), wherein the eachofthe plurality of pixels includes: a selector switch transistor
`
`which is connected between a gate electrode of the driver transistor and a second
`
`electrode of the drivertransistor (fig. 3, items Q11-Q12); a capacitor element which is
`
`connected betweenthe gate electrode of the driver transistor and one ofthe plurality of
`
`signal lines that is associated with that capacitor element(fig. 3, item C1); a lighting
`
`transistor which is connected between the second electrode of the driver transistor and
`
`one of electrodesof the self-light-emitting element(fig. 3, items Q11,Q13,21); anda
`
`detection transistor which is connected between the one of the electrodesof the self-
`
`light-emitting element and one of the plurality of signal lines that is associated with that
`
`detection transistor(fig. 3, items Q2,Q13-Q14,21,Xm), wherein the selector switch
`
`transistor has a gate electrode connectedto one of the plurality of selection control lines
`
`that is associated with that selector switch transistor (fig. 3, items SL1,Q12); the lighting
`
`transistor has a gate electrode connected to one of the plurality of lighting switch lines
`
`that is associated with thatlighting transistor (fig. 3, items SL2,Q13-Q14); and the
`
`detection transistor has a gate electrode connected to one ofthe plurality of detection
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 12/477,155
`Art Unit: 2629
`
`Page 11
`
`control lines that is associated with that detection transistor (fig. 3, items Q2,G2, from
`
`col. 4, line 31 to col. 6, line 43).
`
`It would have been obvious to oneof ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to incorporate teachings of Jo into Routley et al. system in order to adjust the
`
`operation of the driven element(col. 3, lines 63-67 of the Jo reference).
`
`6.
`
`Claim 4 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Routley
`
`et al., Jo in view of Akimoto et al. (2005/0110720 A1).
`
`Routley et al., Jo do not disclose a plurality of reset lines, a reset switch
`
`transistor, a second capacitor.
`
`Akimoto et al. teachesa plurality of reset lines, a reset switch transistor, a second
`
`capacitor (fig. 6, items 50,51,53, par. 0055).
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to incorporate teachings of Akimoto etal. into Routley et al., Jo system in
`
`order to cancel a variation in the characteristic (par. 0011 in the Akimoto etal.
`
`reference).
`
`4.
`
`Applicant's argumentsfiled 08/16/12 have been fully considered but they are not
`
`Responseto Arguments
`
`persuasive:
`
`On page 11, last paragraph of Remark, Applicant’s stated that the present
`
`amendment emphasizes that the same amount of constant current is supplied to each
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 12/477,155
`Art Unit: 2629
`
`Page 12
`
`of the light emitting elements of each of the plurality of pixels. This is clearly neither
`
`taught nor suggested by Routley. Quite to the contrary, the element 312 referred to in
`
`the Office Action as reading on the claimed voltage detection meansis, in fact, simply
`
`described as "Power(Vss)" (e.g., see paragraph [0038] of Routley). Accordingly,it is
`
`respectfully submitted that the present amendmentto claim 1 clearly distinguishes the
`
`claim over Routley and reconsideration and removal of the 35 USC §102 rejection of
`
`independentclaim 1 over this reference is respectfully requested. However, Routley
`
`teaches a constant current supplying circuit (fig. 3, item 340) and the newly introduced
`
`limitation of independentclaims 1, 5: “so that the same constant current flows through
`
`eachofthe self- emitting elements of the plurality of pixels” is not described in
`
`Specification.
`
`Notice, that par. 0047 in the Specification stated that a constant currentto flow from a
`
`current source 20 into each OLED..., but not the same amount of constant current as
`
`stated in last paragraph of Remark on page 11.
`
`Conclusion
`
`Applicant's amendmentnecessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in
`
`this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. See MPEP
`
`§ 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37
`
`CFR 1.136(a).
`
`A shortened statutory period for reply to this final action is set to expire THREE
`
