A proper response to these questions would make it clear<br />

to the Examiner and place facts on record whether the<br />

invention was reduced to practice before the earliest<br />

reference with or without any "public use" or "on sale"<br />

activities. Refer to MPEP 2133.03 for the explanation of<br />

"On Sale" or "Public Use." In the case of the facts<br />

revealing that the invention was involved in "public use"<br />

or "on sale" activities, the 35 U.S.C. 102(b) rejections<br />

based upon a public use or sale of the invention will be<br />

maintained. If the facts reveal otherwise, the rejection<br />

will be withdrawn.<br />

34. On June 3, 2009, responding to the December 3, 2008 final office<br />

action, FutureLogic stated:<br />

Applicant submits herewith but under separate letter, a<br />

Supplemental Declaration under 37 C.F.R. § 1.131 in<br />

order to further clarify the circumstances under which the<br />

promotional printer described in Applicant's two previous<br />

Declarations under 37 C.F.R. 1.131 dated February 11,<br />

2008 and August 12, 2008, was reduced to practice ....<br />

Furthermore, and in accordance with Applicant's<br />

understanding of the rejection under 35 U.S.C, § 102(b),<br />

Applicant respectfully requests that the Examiner<br />

consider the additional information supplied in the<br />

Supplemental Declaration. Based on that additional<br />

information, Applicant submits that the present invention<br />

was neither made accessible to the public, nor used<br />

commercially, nor offered for sale or sold, before the<br />

critical date of March 29, 2001. Accordingly, Applicant<br />

respectfully requests consideration and withdrawal of the<br />

rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).<br />

35. On June 26, 2009, FutureLogic filed Mr. Meyerhofer's third<br />

declaration, which was intended to accompany the June 3, 2009 response,<br />

indicating that the submission was "inadvertently delayed." FutureLogic further<br />

indicated, "The contents and sufficiency of the supplemental declaration were<br />

discussed with the Examiner in a telephonic interview prior to the submission of the<br />
