`
`RemarkslArguments:
`
`Claim Status
`
`Claim 1 is pending and stands rejected. Claim 2 has been cancelled. Claim 1 has
`
`been amended to separately recite the structural features of the welding robot systems.
`
`Support for new claims 3-5 may be found, for example,
`
`in FIGS. 8A and SB and the
`
`original specification at Page 23, Line 12 to Page 24, Line 6. Support for new claims 6—8
`
`may be found, for example,
`
`in FIGs. 11A and 113 and the original specification at Page
`
`27, Lines 3-10. Support for new claims 9-11 may be found, for example, in FIG. 5 and in
`
`the original specification at the second full paragraph of Page 14, the first full paragraph
`
`of Page 2, the first two paragraphs of Page 4 and the third full paragraph of Page 9. No
`
`new matter has been added.
`
`Claim Rejections
`
`Claims 1 and 2 are rejected as being obvious over Shigeyoshi (JP 2008—93670) in
`
`view of Peters (US 2008-0011728). The Applicants respectfully traverse the rejection of
`
`these claims for the reasons set forth hereinafter.
`
`“To establish a prima facie case of obviousness,
`
`the prior art reference (or
`
`references when combined) must teach or suggest all the claim limitations." M.P.E.P.
`
`§2143.
`
`Sole independent claim 1 recites features that are neither disclosed nor suggested
`
`by the cited references, namely “wherein a first movement of the first single
`
`electrode is followed by a second movement of the second single electrode, and
`
`the first single electrode and the second single electrode perform welding simultaneously
`
`in a same direction on a same welding line.” In other words, the first single electrode
`
`performs a first movement before the second single electrode performs a second
`
`movement.
`
`In still other words, the single electrodes move independently.
