OFFICE ACTION:
DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA  or AIA  Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Double Patenting
The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially created doctrine grounded in public policy (a policy reflected in the statute) so as to prevent the unjustified or improper timewise extension of the “right to exclude” granted by a patent and to prevent possible harassment by multiple assignees. A nonstatutory double patenting rejection is appropriate where the conflicting claims are not identical, but at least one examined application claim is not patentably distinct from the reference claim(s) because the examined application claim is either anticipated by, or would have been obvious over, the reference claim(s). See, e.g., In re Berg, 140 F.3d 1428, 46 USPQ2d 1226 (Fed. Cir. 1998); In re Goodman, 11 F.3d 1046, 29 USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Longi, 759 F.2d 887, 225 USPQ 645 (Fed. Cir. 1985); In re Van Ornum, 686 F.2d 937, 214 USPQ 761 (CCPA 1982); In re Vogel, 422 F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); In re Thorington, 418 F.2d 528, 163 USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969).
A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(c) or 1.321(d) may be used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on nonstatutory double patenting provided the reference application or patent either is shown to be commonly owned with the examined application, or claims an invention made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. See MPEP § 717.02 for applications subject to examination under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA  as explained in MPEP § 2159. See MPEP § 2146 et seq. for applications not subject to examination under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA . A terminal disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(b).
The USPTO Internet website contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be used. Please visit www.uspto.gov/patent/patents-forms. The filing date of the application in which the form is filed determines what form (e.g., PTO/SB/25, PTO/SB/26, PTO/AIA /25, or PTO/AIA /26) should be used. A web-based eTerminal Disclaimer may be filled out completely online using web-screens. An eTerminal Disclaimer that meets all requirements is auto-processed and approved immediately upon submission.

Claim 1 is provisionally rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 9 of copending Application No. 18/328,989 (reference application). Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because the scope of the claims overlaps and the missing property, i.e., the Basis Weight is common to paper towels and thus considered inherent or at the very least obvious. Note that the only difference is that the co-pending application recites a sanitary tissue product instead of a paper towel roll, yet “sanitary tissues” comprises paper towels as-well, as evidenced by claim 17.
This is a provisional nonstatutory double patenting rejection because the patentably indistinct claims have not in fact been patented.
Claim 1 is provisionally rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 11 of copending Application No. 18/125,185 (reference application). Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because the scope of the claims overlaps and the missing property, i.e., the Basis Weight is common to paper towels and thus considered inherent or at the very least obvious. Note that the only difference is that the co-pending application recites a sanitary tissue product instead of a paper towel roll, yet “sanitary tissues” comprises paper towels as-well, as evidenced by claim 15.
This is a provisional nonstatutory double patenting rejection because the patentably indistinct claims have not in fact been patented.
Claim 1 is rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claim 9 of U.S. Patent No. 11,952,724 B2. Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because the scope of the claims overlaps and the missing property, i.e., the Basis Weight is common to paper towels and thus considered inherent or at the very least obvious and thus the US patent can be used to reject the claims of the current application. Note that  claim 3 evidences the Basis Weight range of the reference’s towel.
Claim 1 is rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claim 6 of U.S. Patent No. 11,700,979 B2. Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because the scope of the claims overlaps and the missing property, i.e., the Basis Weight is common to paper towels and thus considered inherent or at the very least obvious. Note that the only difference is that the co-pending application recites a sanitary tissue product instead of a paper towel roll, yet “sanitary tissues” comprises paper towels as-well, as evidenced by claim 15.
Claim 1 rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claim 10 of U.S. Patent No. 11,633,076 B2. Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because the scope of the claims overlaps and the missing property, i.e., the Basis Weight is common to paper towels and thus considered inherent or at the very least obvious. Note that the only difference is that the co-pending application recites a sanitary tissue product instead of a paper towel roll, yet the webs have the same or overlapping and thus the paper towel could be used as a sanitary tissue as-well.
Claim 1 is rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claim 8 of U.S. Patent No. 11,447,916 B2. Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because the scope of the claims overlaps and thus the US patent can be used to reject the claim(s) of the current application.
Claim 1 is rejected on the ground of nonstatutory double patenting as being unpatentable over claim 7 of U.S. Patent No. 12,152,347 B2 . Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because the scope of the claims overlaps and the missing property, i.e., the Basis Weight is common to paper towels and thus considered inherent or at the very least obvious and thus the US patent can be used to reject the claim(s) of the current application. Note that the only difference is that the co-pending application recites a sanitary tissue product instead of a paper towel roll, yet the webs have the same or overlapping and thus the paper towel could be used as a sanitary tissue as-well. Moreover, the above references evidences that “sanitary tissues” comprises “Paper Towels” as-well.
Response to Arguments
Applicant’s arguments, see page 5 of the remarks, filed on October 14, 2024, with respect to the rejection under USC §103 over Wolkowicz have been fully considered and are persuasive.  The rejection of July 26, 2024 has been withdrawn.
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 1-2 and 4-20 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejection(s) under Double Patenting, set forth in this Office action.
The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter:  the prior art does not teach nor fairly suggest a paper towel with the combination of properties as claimed in claim 1. Note that the method of making is also allowable since it has been held that the process of and/or using a novel and non-obvious product is also novel and non-obvious. In re Ochiai, 71 F.3d 1565, 37 USPQ2d 1127 (Fed. Cir. 1995) and In re Brouwer, 71 F.3d 1565, 37 USPQ2d 1663.
Conclusion
The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure in the art of “Rolled Paper Towels.”
Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action.  Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL.  See MPEP § 706.07(a).  Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a).
A shortened statutory period for reply to this final action is set to expire THREE MONTHS from the mailing date of this action.  In the event a first reply is filed within TWO MONTHS of the mailing date of this final action and the advisory action is not mailed until after the end of the THREE-MONTH shortened statutory period, then the shortened statutory period will expire on the date the advisory action is mailed, and any extension fee pursuant to 37 CFR 1.136(a) will be calculated from the mailing date of the advisory action.  In no event, however, will the statutory period for reply expire later than SIX MONTHS from the date of this final action.
