Conclusion

APPLICANT REBUTTAL: REMARKS/ARGUMENTS
This response is in reply to the Office Action of May 12, 2025. The Office Action has rejected Claims 1-3, 8, 10-12, 16, and 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Wagner (U.S. Patent No. 6,537,126) in view of Gillespie (U.S. Patent No. 4,045,026). Claims 4-6 and 17 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Wagner in view of Gillespie and further in view of Berliner (U.S. Patent No. 4,077,386.). Claims 7 and 18 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Wagner in view of Gillespie in view of Berliner and further in view of Rizzo (U.S. Publication No. 2013/0104870). Claims 13-15 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Wagner in view of Gillespie and further in view of Bourdelaise (U.S. Patent No. 8,876,574).
Claims 9 and 19 were objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
Amendments to the Claims
While Applicant respectfully disagrees with the aforementioned rejections, Applicant has amended the claims as described herein. Specifically, Applicant has amended independent Claim 1 to recite an “
extension extending away from the body
” and “at least one strap configured to attach to a wrist of a user
, and to hold the body against the wrist of the user along a length of the body
.” Claim 2 has been amended to clarify the relative locations of the housing and the extension. Support for these amendments is found at least in paragraph [0110]-[0112] and corresponding FIG. 25-32. Claim 5 has been amended to recite that the looped string is piled within the cavity, where a length of the looped string within the cavity increases as the looped string is retrieved. Support for this amendment is found at least in paragraph [0095] of the originally filed application. Claim 11 has been amended to recite that the at least one strap configured to attach to a wrist of a user also holds the body against the wrist of the user along a length of the body. Support for this amendment is found at least in FIGS. 23 and 26 and corresponding paragraphs [0101] and [0111]. No new matter has been added by way of these amendments.
Patentability of the Independent Claims
The Office Action has rejected independent Claim 1 as unpatentable over Wagner in view of Gillespie. Applicant respectfully disagrees, particularly in view of the aforementioned amendments. Claim 1 recites at least one strap to attach to a wrist and hold the body against the wrist of the user along a length of the body. Applicant submits that Wagner and Gillespie are deficient with respect to at least this feature.
Wagner discloses an amusement device including a “housing 70”. The housing can be “operated while hand carried by the user” as disclosed in Claim 12. Wagner fails to teach or suggest that the housing can be attached to a wrist of a user. The Office Action acknowledges on page 3 that Wagner fails to teach or suggest a strap configured to attached to a wrist of a user, citing Gillespie to correct this deficiency.
The “wrist strap 46” of Gillespie functions as merely a tether. Gillespie recites in col. 4, lines 11-14, “When the apparatus is used, the wrist strap is slipped over the wrist to help a player hold onto the apparatus and throw projectiles.”
Applicant submits that neither Wagner nor Gillespie teach or suggest “at least one strap configured to attach to a wrist of a user
, and to hold the body against the wrist of the user along a length of the body
” as recited by Claim 11 or to position the
extension within a palm of the user wherein the actuator is in reach of at least one finger of the user as recited in amended claim 1
. Conversely, the tethering wrist strap of Gillespie necessarily attaches an end of the handle, as described in col. 4, lines 3-14, and cannot reasonably be interpreted to “hold the body against the wrist of the user along a length of the body” as recited in amended Claim 1.
Applicant further submits that neither Wagner nor Gillespie teach or suggest an extension extending away from the body” with “an actuator positioned on the extension” as recited by Claim 1. The Office Action has indicated that Wagner teaches an “extension,” citing to “body/housing 70 with handle extension 30.” However, as illustrated in FIG. 3, such an interpretation results in the alleged “actuator S” being positioned on the “housing 70”, with the alleged “extension 30” extending aft of the housing.
A drawing of a device
AI-generated content may be incorrect.
Wagner further recites that the “switch S that can be operated from the handle 30 by a user.” See col. 2, lines 33-34, emphasis added. This statement indicates that the switch is operated from the handle and is not considered part of the handle. As such, Applicant submits that Wagner has been improperly interpreted by the Office Action.
In view of the above, Applicant submits that the cited art, taken alone or in combination, fails to teach or suggest the features of amended Claim 1, and the rejection of Claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is overcome. Independent Claim 11, while having its own scope, recites features similar to those argued above with respect to Claim 1, such that Claim 11 is similarly patentably distinct from the cited art, and the rejection of Claim 11 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is similarly overcome.
Patentability of the Dependent Claims
Because each of the dependent claims includes each of the recitations of a respective independent base claim, Applicant further submits that the dependent claims are patentably distinct from the cited references, taken alone or in combination, for at least those reasons as discussed above. Accordingly, Applicant respectfully submits that the rejections of the dependent claims are overcome and the dependent claims are in condition for allowance. As the patentability of the independent claims has been argued as set forth above, Applicant will not take this opportunity to argue the merits of the rejection with regard to specific dependent claims. However, Applicant does not concede that the dependent claims are not independently patentable and reserves the right to argue the patentability of dependent claims at a later date if necessary.
