OFFICE ACTION:
DETAILED ACTION
1.         Claims 6-15, as filed by Preliminary Amendment 8/16/2023, are pending.
Notice of Pre-AIA  or AIA  Status
2.         The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Information Disclosure Statement
3.         The information disclosure statements (IDS) submitted on 8/16/2023, 3/11/2025 and 3/17/2025 have been considered by the examiner. Initialed copies are attached.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102/103
4.         In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA  35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA  35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless –
(a)(1) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale, or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
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.
5.         Claims 6-9 & 11 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as anticipated by or, in the alternative, under 35 U.S.C. 103 as obvious over AIDA et al. (US 2020/0041359 A1; cited on Applicant’s IDS).
As to claims 6-9 & 11, AIDA teaches a decoloring agent comprising: at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by general formula (1) and compounds represented by general formula (2)

, wherein the groups are as defined in claims 6-9 & 11 (see AIDA para. 0079-0080: specifically, ester compounds such as dimethyl adipate, dimethyl succinate, dimethyl maleate, dimethyl glutarate, diethyl succinate (structures of Formula (1)) or diethylene glycol diacetate (a structure of Formula (2))).
AIDA fails to explicitly disclose that the decoloring agent is “used for color hazing or decoloring of a fabric printed or dyed with a disperse dye”.
However, used for color hazing or decoloring of a fabric printed or dyed with a disperse dye” merely recites the purpose or intended use of the composition. If the body of a claim fully and intrinsically sets forth all of the limitations of the claimed invention, and the preamble merely states, for example, the purpose or intended use of the invention, rather than any distinct definition of any of the claimed invention's limitations, then the preamble is not considered a limitation and is of no significance to claim construction. See MPEP 2111.02.
AIDA anticipates the claims since he teaches all of the composition features recited in instant claims 6-9 & 11. In the event that the anticipation rejection under AIDA is found to be insufficient, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to have arrived at the claimed color hazing or decoloring agent because AIDA teaches and/or suggests the same chemical compounds described in the present application as decoloring agents (see AIDA para. 0079-0080 and present specification para. 0017). Therefore, claims 6-9 & 11 are anticipated by or rendered obvious over the disclosure of AIDA.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102/103
6.	Claims 10 & 12-15 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over AIDA et al. (US 2020/0041359 A1), in view of Morimoto et al. (JP 2010-163475 A; citations are to a PDF of its English translation accessed in PE2E).
As to claims 10 & 12-15, AIDA teaches the decoloring agent according to claims 6-9 & 11 as described above, but fails to explicitly disclose the method steps of producing a fabric comprising carrying out color hazing or decoloring of a fabric printed or dyed with a disperse dye, by heating the fabric while contacting with the color hazing or decoloring agent according to claims 6-9 & 11.
However, Morimoto, in analogous art of decoloring agents (see PDF pg. 1), teaches that heating a fabric while contacting with a similar decoloring agent (see PDF pg. 12) is a well-known method to produce a decolored fabric.
Therefore, in view of the teaching of Morimoto, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filling date of the claimed invention to use the decoloring agent taught in AIDA in the method taught by Morimoto to arrive at the claimed invention because AIDA suggests decoloring known materials, such as non-woven cloths or woven cloths (see AIDA para. 0138).
Examiner’s Note
7.         Examiner has cited particular paragraphs or figures in the references as applied to the claims above for the convenience of the applicant. Although the specified citations are representative of the teachings in the art and are applied to the specific limitations within the individual claim, other passages and figures may apply as well. It is respectfully requested from the applicant, in preparing the responses, to fully consider the references in entirety as potentially teaching all or part of the claimed invention, as well as the context of the passage as taught by the prior art or disclosed by the Examiner. Applicant is reminded that the Examiner is entitled to give the broadest reasonable interpretation to the language of the claims. Furthermore, the Examiner is not limited to Applicants' definition which is not specifically set forth in the claims. See MPEP 2111, 2123, 2125, 2141.02 VI, and 2182.
Conclusion

APPLICANT REBUTTAL: Remarks Applicants have amended claims 6-15 and added claims 16-20. The amendments and new claims are fully supported by the original disclosure. See. e.g., paras. [0023], [0036], and [0040] of the Applicants' specification.By this Amendment, claims 6-20 are pending and under Examination. Applicants respectfully request withdrawal of the rejections and timely allowance of the pending claims.Interview Applicants thank Examiner Hammer for the courtesy extended to Applicants' representative during a telephonic interview of July 24, 2025. During the Interview, Applicants' representative and the Examiner discussed proposed amendments. The Examiner agreed that the amendments herein overcome the current rejections.Claim Rejections - 35 USC §§ 102(a)(1) and 103 Claims 6-9 and 11 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. §102(a)(1) as anticipated by or, in the alternative, under 35 U.S.C. §103 as obvious over Aida et al. (US 2020/0041359 Al; cited on Applicants' IDS).Claims 10 and 12-15 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. §103 as being unpatentable over Aida et al. (US 2020/0041359 Al), in view of Morimoto et al. (JP 2010-163475 A; citations are to a PDF of its English translation accessed in PE2E).Claim 6 recites "providing a fabric printed or dyed with a disperse dye; contacting the fabric with a color hazing or decoloring agent." Claim 10 recites "carrying out color hazing or decoloring of a fabric printed or dyed with a disperse dye." The cited references, alone or in combination, fail to disclose or suggest these elements.As recited in claims 6 and 10, the color hazing or decoloring agent comprises at least one compound selected from specific compounds (1) and (2), and is used for color hazing or decoloring of a fabric printed or dyed with "a disperse dye." According to the present application, the disperse dye is "moved" in/on the fabric by the compounds (1) and/or compounds (2). More specifically, the disperse dye adhered to the fabric is moved to another position in the fabric or moved out of the fabric by the compounds (1) and/or compounds (2) whereby the printed or dyed fabric is hazed or decolored. Such a hazing/decoloring mechanism by the compounds (1) and/or (2) is not conventionally known.In contrast, Aida discloses a temperature detecting material including "a leuco dye," "a color developing agent," and "a decoloring agent." With the temperature detecting material of Aida, the leuco dye can be developed when it reaches a color developing temperature, and the leuco dye can be decolorized when it reaches a decoloring temperature. In Aida, the leuco dye and the color developing agent react with each other to develop a color, while the decoloring agent acts on them to become a non-crystalline state, thereby decoloring the leuco dye.It should be noted that the leuco dye is markedly different from the disperse dye. As stated above, the leuco dye is developed by reacting with the color developing agent which is capable of donating hydrogen ions (hence it is called color "development"). In other words, the leuco dye cannot be colored alone and is not the same as the disperse dye which is colored alone. Aida discloses a technique in which the decoloring agent acts on the reaction of the leuco dye and the color developing agent to suppress color development of the leuco dye.Therefore, a person skilled in the art referring to Aida would naturally consider that, if the leuco dye in Aida were replaced with the disperse dye disclosed by Morimoto, the color developing/decoloring mechanism disclosed in Aida would not be exerted. In other words, a person skilled in the art would not combine Aida with Morimoto, because the color developing/decoloring mechanism in Aida is completely different from that of Morimoto.As stated above, Aida only discloses a color developing/decoloring method of the "leuco dye" by acting on the "color development reaction," whereas the present application is a technique for "moving" the "disperse dye" in/on the fabric by the color hazing or decoloring agent to hazing or decoloring the fabric. In addition, a person skilled in the art would not combine Aida with Morimoto, because if the leuco dye in Aida were replaced with the disperse dye disclosed by Morimoto, the color developing/decoloring mechanism disclosed in Aida would not be exerted.Therefore, claims 6 and 10 are neither anticipated by Aida nor obvious in view of Aida and Morimoto.During the interview on July 24, 2025, the Examiner also agreed that the amendments to claims 6 and 10 overcome the current rejections based on Aida or Aida in view of Morimoto.For at least the above reasons, claims 6 and 10 are allowable. Claims 7-9 and 11-15 are allowable at least by virtue of their dependence from claims 6 or 10.Applicants therefore respectfully request that the Examiner reconsider and withdraw the rejections under 35 USC §§ 102(a)(1) and 103.New Claims Newly added claims 16-20 are fully supported by the Applicants' original disclosure. No new matter is introduced. Claims 16-20 are allowable at least by virtue of their dependence from claims 6 or 10.In light of the foregoing, the Applicants respectfully submit that the entire application is now in condition for allowance, which is respectfully requested.Respectfully submitted, /Michael A. Patan6/ Michael A. Patan6 Reg. No. 42,982 MAP/HZ/cma (215) 656-2488

Allowable Subject Matter
5.	Claims 6-20 are allowed.
6.	The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: In light of Applicant’s amendments to the claims and an updated search, the instant claims are allowable over the closest related references, AIDA (US 2020/0041359 A1) and Morimoto (JP 2010-163475 A; citations to its translation), for the detailed reasons presented in Applicant’s Remarks filed on 07/24/2025.
In agreement with Applicant’s arguments, the prior art does not disclose or fairly suggest a method comprising color hazing or decoloring a fabric that has been printed or dyed with a disperse dye comprising contacting the fabric with a color hazing or decoloring agent comprising at least one compound represented by general formulae (1) or (2) as defined in independent claims 6 and 10. The terms “color hazing” and “decoloring” are described in the present specification at para. [0013]. Specific examples of compounds represented by general formulae (1) and (2) are listed in the specification at para. [0017] and [0022], respectively.
There would have been no motivation to one of ordinary skill in the art based upon the disclosures of AIDA and/or Morimoto to arrive at the claimed method as a whole with its required combination of features, novel elements of which are that the fabric has been printed or dyed with a disperse dye and the particular compounds that function to remove a disperse dye from fabrics.
One of ordinary skill in the art would not find the instantly claimed composition limitations to be obvious variants of the prior art teachings and other known methods for color hazing or decoloring of a fabric.
In light of the above discussion, and the unique combination of each and every specific element stated in the claims, it is evident as to why the present claims are allowable over the prior art. Emphasis above was added by the Examiner.
Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably accompany the issue fee.  Such submissions should be clearly labeled “Comments on Statement of Reasons for Allowance.”
