come home after work let it out in the morning let it out pain so a lot of people have installed dogs or conventional dog guards allows the dog egress and ingress whenever it feels like it but that's not necessarily a great solution either the dog can be out there when the meter reader or somebody can come back again but you don't have to worry about records coming into the house and that's basically the state of the art the problem of course there is again that you can't keep the dog from leaving when you don't want to there's no way to do so without going home and either locking it or mentally sets timers from a remote computer to lock and unlock the at door it can do that and that's the thing it has basically two aspects of case which are different teaches a completely automated system so if there's a dog outside that it doesn't recognize it but that i have a remote computer controlling the locking and unlocking the pet door that concept actually i dare say and i don't know if i want to call it inventive concept itself and that's how you manage that dog or you do so and it again is programmed it's an automatic thing where you have either the sensors or some sort of timers that do it there is no selective ability to lock and unlock that door and it's not remote it is a local system now operable lot i know but you're you're telling me that it's somehow an inflexible system and i don't think that's a fair way to characterize states i think it is a fair way to characterize it will only and always lock and unlock cording to a certain be certain but is it a chain you remotely control that lock to say ok i'm not going to make it home tonight i'm going to knock that door no there's no indication that you can do that and again i would also point out the snarl of the letters out what about paragraph i guess transceiver six o two to receive status information and to send commands to the system in one sense or after that it says two since the owner can use the remote control one twelve t hat disclosure there's a lot there to talk about animatronic trainers they talk about all throwing systems automatic feeders but there's no indication you can actually control the dog or via that remote control at all again it's also in seventy eight it says the system one hundred can recognize this strange dog or other animals in the area and take appropriate action lot the dark door three again that's an automated system that's a response to a sensor that has nothing to do that actually remotely controlling that dog with selective signal and again that part that part is local that part is handled by the monitoring system whether it's one time one eleven that monitoring system is local now the only other thing the penetrate mark office points out that might be argued as a remote system is the base unit one of four and controller twelve of three but isn't much of a stretch if to say that the owner can communicate remotely again dedicated to automatic control i deal with cases that you can program this thing against in case you can owner of the dock and remotely interact with the correct in what ways and speakers listen to the dog with the view of the microphone using that remote control so that's really what their remote is all about it can also activate i believe certain things like a ball throwing system and maybe and activating a toy with a dog yeah i think you can do those things right but again you're not alone in this the whole of the invention is not about a way to remotely play with your dog inventions way to control the dog's access to it from the house and the ca system is set up not do that case just in a set up to say i'm going to control this dog and i don't want to have to mess with it any more the idea is that i've got a series of sensors that are going to monitor monitor temperature humidity whether there's a problem in the house whether there's  animals outside i'm just gonna walk away from this thing it's not really designed it's act it goes away from providing the somebody to go and control over the various things like the dog park itself ok and that's what that is really largely  reflected in the the way the pageantry marked office comes out they have sort of a instead of relying on actions closures in the reference to support their position instead they sort of wave their hands at these things they say that has already had the capacity to mcclintock system is basically a way for can be managing a series of doors and access to those teachers the concept of remotely rocking and unlocking the door and not entirely what it does describe is a judging person which is  look at the drawing appendix thirty nine it shows this lady like she's going to work house she's got a big personal sunglasses on it doesn't look like she's a security guy and she's not actually the person of that t that reference is referring to at that point the lady there is the person trying to gain access she's the cartwheel i see the there is a point in the mcclintock reference where the door administrator which is different from the judge in person is referred to as fifty two which is the browser you'll see at the top of figure one there but that's kind of an isolated instance every other reference to door administrator doesn't have the number fifty two and number fifty two typically refers to the  homeowner well i don't know their adored mistress couldn't be a homeowner i'm not sure i understand dora that they probably could the point though is in this case the way it's praised in the mcclintock references there's a judging person who may respond to buy a large mclintock system as it is a key driven system as a way of matching of course keys with the various stores there is a point where they refer to if you're confronted with a situation where the person doesn't have the heart so they can contact the judge in person presumably security guard say hey i forgot my card or what have you that person can the judge in person can look at the person's image on a video camera and say ok come on in and do something through the browser presumably clicking a button and that person comes  now that is not really analogous to a pet situation don't really walk up to the door of us and say hey let me again that's not really the context that we're looking for here we're looking for situations where the owner is the initiator trying to lock or unlock the door to let in or out so it really doesn't apply the same but that's really as close as we can let's talk there is a reference in mcclintock to the two controlling pet doors but they go away from that scheme in the mcclintock reference they talk about really only two things which is setting up times of operation provide this motivation and the essentially they wave their hands at that part too they say it would be obvious because now somebody can control this and you are where the internet anywhere where there is the internet but really makes no reason why you would combine that aspect of with  case automated system and yes you can sort of programming from potentially from the remote control but there's no real reason why you would want to control the dog or automatic the dog remotely that's already been set up for automatic control it automatically opens itself and closes off according to the various sensors there is no reason meanwhile mclintock system has this specifically to accommodate the security guard situation mcclintock is also a highly  remote from the system of kit's does as close as you touched on the ability for a dog owner or dog trainer to log into the system via remote computer either through some handheld remote control device or through a computer that's connected to the internet with a web browser and they can both interact with the dog using audio and video capability and they train the dog and they can sing commands to the dog verbally and they can also send commands to the doesn't actually go into detail about what specific commands the owner or the trainer can send the system one of those commands one would if you're training your dog one command you could understand would be to unlock the door to let the dog out or to lock the door if you think there's an animal outside that you don't want to come in the house now with mcclintock fills that narrow gap the mcclintock system discloses a system for controlling access to doors from a remote computer anywhere that a web browser is available and that's in mcclintock figure one shows the fifty two which is where the administrator can be located a judging person can look at someone who doesn't have credentials unlock the door themselves communicate with the person with audio video capability and make a judgment that if they want to let that person come in torrent to unlock unlock the door mcclintock in paragraph sixty five also discloses a method in a system for controlling a dog door remotely and it has a timer system the owner can actually set the times of operation so those disclosures in combination with kate  the what they are purported to support the conclusions that they draw that case provides the remote control locking and unlocking that's simply not true it's automated locking it's also not remote it's handled by a local system refer to controlling darkhorse but first controlling dog doors in the conventional way it's talked about doing it with a timer and doing so with that's not what's claimed really has nothing to do with the  the only other thing that part of the first two is some sort of ability to remotely control a door but again that a soul in conjunction with that security guard scenario which is in a pleasurable we're talking about so remember with at the end of the day it is pretty much a classic of hindsight where yes looking at the claims you can go back in europe you can could potentially reconstruct an obviousness argument that the claimed invention is somehow disclosed if you squint at it just right but that's really not appropriate here this is a classic case of hindsight there's nothing in the references that actually support the legal conclusions drawn by the trademark office which write their own limits the prima takes if you add on top of that the fact that there's no real motivation that's drawn from the references or th
