A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
The applicant is respectfully advised that in examining a pending application, the claims are interpreted as broadly as their terms reasonably convey.  In re American Academy of Science Tech Center, 70 USPQ2d. 1827, 1834 (Fed. Cir. May 13, 2004). MPEP § 2111.01.
Claims 3-4, 12 and 15-16 and 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Negley (U.S. PG Publication No.  2015/0292686).
Regarding Claim 3-4 and 15-16, Negley discloses in Figures 1-36, the lamp as recited in claim 2 further comprising an antenna mounted on the 1-layer metal core PCB 129 but it does not explicitly disclose the antenna as being helical or monopole.
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to substitute a helical or monopole antenna for an antenna in the invention of Negley because they are known equivalents and it would have yielded the predictable result providing wireless capability depending on the space constraints within the lamp .  See KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 82 USPQ2d 1385 (2007).
Regarding Claim 12 and 20,  Negley does not explicitly disclose the lamp as recited in claim 1 wherein the LEDs are disposed on a periphery of the PCB and the LED driver circuit is disposed inside the periphery.
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of filing to arranged LEDs and circuitry to the periphery and center respectively on a circuit board so that the driver circuits and the LEDs are symmetrically arranged with respect to each other, since it has been held that rearranging parts of a prior art structure involves only routing skill in the art.  In re Japikse, 181 F.2d 1019, 86 USPQ 70 (CCPA 1950).
Claims 6-7 and 17-18 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Negley (U.S. PG Publication No.  2015/0292686) in view of Joerg (U.S. PG Publication No.  2019/0032887).
Negley discloses one capacitor and inductor mounted on the PCB (Para 0063, inductor part of driver circuitry of circuit board for EMI Para 0066) but does not disclose capacitor and inductor disposed on a bottom side of the 1-layer metal core PCB opposite a top side on which the LEDs are disposed.
Joerg discloses an LED lamp with a top and bottom side having electrical devices disposed on surface opposite of LEDs on an PCB (Figures 1-3, Para 0021-0024) to efficiently utilize space with electrical components and a single circuit board and not hinder the light emission of the LEDs Para 0024).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of filing to mount the inductors and capacitors on an opposite bottom side of the circuit board to reduce hindrance of the LED light emission.
Claim 10 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Negley (U.S. PG Publication No.  2015/0292686) in view of Lys (U.S. Patent No. 6,166,496).
Negley does not disclose the LED driver circuit comprises: a first transistor configured to turn on a first segment the plurality of LEDs responsive to assertion of a first transistor control signal controlled by the MCU; and a second transistor configured to turn on the first segment and a second segment of the plurality of LEDs, responsive to assertion of a second transistor control signal controlled by the MCU.
Lys discloses an LED lamp with driver circuit having a transistor corresponding to  each channel of LEDs controlled by a circuit for individually powering each channel (Col 12, lines 5-35).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to have transistors in series with multiple segments or channels of LEDs to control each segment.  All the claimed elements in Negley and Lys were known in the prior art and one skilled in the art could have combined the transistor with the drive circuit with controller as claimed with no change in their respective functions, and the combination would have yielded the predictable result efficiently and precisely controlling  individual LED segments or channels to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of filing.  See KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 82 USPQ2d 1385 (2007).
Conclusion
The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure. Kim (U.S. Pat No. 9,810,414) discloses an LED lamp with PCB and driving circuitry.

ections Under 35
U.S.C.
Claims 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 13, 14, and 19 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a)(1) as being
anticipated by U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015/0292686 to Negley. Claims 5 and 9 have been canceled.
Amended claim 1 recites "a power supply circuit [on the PCB with the LEDs] coupled to receive AC power and supply power for the LEDs, the LED driver circuit, and the MCU."
Applicant respectfully submits that Negley fails to show the power supply circuit on a single PCB with the other components. The Office action points to Negley [0063] as teaching that limitation. However, all Negley teaches in that paragraph is that the internal cavity 107 receives the electronics 110 of the lamp including the power supply and/or drivers or a portion of the electronics. Negley goes on to teach that the lamp electronics may be mounted on a PCB which includes the power supply, including large capacitor and EMI components that are across the input AC line along with the driver circuitry. Negley describes the LED assembly 130 with LEDs 127 separately from the power supply and nowhere does Negley show or describe a PCB that has a power supply circuit that receives AC power and supplies power as claimed for components on the PCB (that includes the LEDs). Negley does teach in [0064] that the base 102 may include the power supply or driver or that part of the power supply with smaller components reside on the LED assembly 130. But nowhere does Negley teach the power supply as being on the single PCB as claimed.
Claim 1 has been further amended to recite "an antenna coupled to the MCU; apad
through which the antenna is coupled to the PCB; and wherein the antenna is resonated with a capacitance of the pad and a resonant frequency generated using the capacitance of the pad and an impedance of the antenna is tuned to an RF operating frequency." Neither Negley nor the other references of record, alone or in combination, teach that aspect of claim 1.
PATENT
Claims 2 and 8 depend on claim 1 and are patentable for at least the reasons give for claim 1.
Claim 13 recites that "a 1-layer metal core PCB" that has LEDs, an LED driver circuit, an MCU providing wireless connectivity and control for the LED driver circuit and "a power supply circuit coupled to an AC source and providing power for the LEDs, the LED driver circuit, and the MCU." As pointed out above, applicant respectfully submits that Negley does not teach a 1-layer metal core PCB that includes all the claimed functionality.
Claim 13 has been further amended to recite "a pad through which an antenna is coupled to the single 1-layer metal core PCB; and wherein the antenna is resonated with a capacitance of the pad and a resonant frequency generated using the pad and an impedance of the antenna is tuned to a radio frequency (RF) operatingfrequency. " That aspect of claim 13 is not taught by Negley or by the references of record, alone or in combination.

Applicant submits that amended claim 6, 7, 17, and 18 are patentable for at least the
reasons given for their independent claims (1 and 13). In addition applicant submits that Joerg fails to teach the slots, such as slots 802 in the PCB shown in Fig. 8, through which the at least one capacitor and inductor are coupled to the top side of the PCB.

New Claims
New claims 21 and 22 have been added and recite subject matter found, e.g., in [0040]. As explained in the specification, the voltages gradually decrease from the periphery to the center of the PCB to minimize the voltage difference between adjacent traces to minimize high voltage breakdown.
In summary, claims 1-4, 6-8, 10, 12, 13, 15-18, and 20-22 are in the case. All claims are believed to be allowable over the art of record, and a Notice of Allowance to that effect is respectfully solicited.
