DETAILEP ACTION

Specification

The abstract of the disclosure is objected to because it is more then one paragraph. Correction is required. See MPEP* 608.01(b).

The title of the invention is not descriptive. A new title is required that is clearly indicative of the invention to which the claims are directed.

The specification is objected to as failing to provide proper antecedent basis for the claimed subject matter. See 37 CFR 1.75(d)(1) and MPEP * 608. D1 (o). Correction

of the following is required:

In claim 7, narcotic guns have net been disclosed in the specification.

In claim 9, a remote control plane to control the airliner has not been disclosed in the specification.

35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph, required the specification to be written in "full, dear, concise, and exact terms." The specification is replete with terms which are not clear, concise and exact. The specification should be revised carefully in order to comply with 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph. Examples of some unclear, inexact or verbose terms used in the specification are: On page 12. "graph" is used instead of figure. On page 13, an element is referred to by "Fig.1-1 instead of just 1. Further, on page 16, flight locus calibrator is a vague term that one skilled in the art would not understand.

Information Disclosure Statement

The listing of references in the specification is not a proper information disclosure statement, 37 CFR 1.98(b) requires a list of all patents, publications, or other information submitted for consideration by the Office, and MPEP §609A (1) states, "the list may net be incorporated into the specification but must be submitted in a separate paper." Therefore, unless the references have been cited by the examiner on form PT0-892, they have not been considered.

Claim Rejections- 35 USC §112

The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112:

The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, In such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected，to make and use the shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention.

Claims 1-9 rejected under 35 U.S,C. 112, first paragraph, as containing subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to enable one skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and/or use the invention,

It is not understood what a flight locus monitor does. Why Is it a locus? Is this a translation error?

It is not understood how the double door System works. As shown in figure 1 and 4, if the person trying to enter the cockpit through the double door system, why is the weight sensor and voice recognition system, etc. not in the space covered by the double door, It seems that all the sensors are located in the "k" section and not in the space defined by the double door.

Further in claim 6, what is a raster curtain? What does it do? Another translation problem?

In claim 7, what is a narcotic gun?

In claim 9, how does the remote-control plane is prepared to control the airliner?

The following is a quotation of the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112:

" The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention."

Claims 1-9 are rejected under 35 U,S.C. 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which applicant regards as the invention.

In claim 1, line 1, a "program" is vague and indefinite. Does the applicant mean "system' ?

In claim 1, line 2. "the double door 'single person checkroom'" lacks antecedent basis.

In claim 1, part b, "the cockpit and the ground monitoring center" and "the concealed electronic monitoring devices" lack antecedent basis.

In claim 1, part c, "the flight locus monitor" lacks antecedent basis.

In claim 2, line 2, "the two doors' lack antecedent basis.

In claim 6, line 3, "the roster curtain" lacks antecedent basis.

The above noted informalities are merely exemplary and net to be taken as an exhaustive list of all such instances. The applicant is advised to review the claims in their entirety for compliance with 35 U.S.C. 112, first and second paragraph.

Claim Rejections- 35 USC §103

The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:

(a) A patent may not be obtained though the indention Is not Identically disclosed or described as set forth in section 102 of this title, if the differences, between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art ere such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was made.

Claims l-8, as best understood, are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Garehime in view of Zekich, Feher, and Borthayre.

Garehime discloses an aircraft hijacking system having a monitoring device to deter potential hijackers with 'narcotic guns" but lacks the system to allow ground base system to control the aircraft or the 'flight locus monitor', the means to monitor the aircraft from the ground, and the double-door system with means to determine the accessibility of a person to the cockpit and the door system having transparent bulletproof glass. However', Zekich discloses a double door system having clear bulletproof glass and identification means (five finger mold) are well known in the art. Feher discloses means to monitor the aircraft from the ground are well known. Borthayre discloses a system to take control away from the cockpit to the ground system via a special frequency band is well known in the art.

It Would have been obvious to one skilled in the art at the time the invention was made to have used double door system having clear bullet proof glass and identification means (five finger mold), means to monitor the aircraft from the ground, and a system to take control away from the cockpit to the ground system in Garehime's system as taught by Zekich, Feher, and Borthayre to prevent the hijackers from taking over the aircraft. As for the term consists, please notethat it would have been obvious to one skilled in the art to have taken away non-critical elements of the security system in Garehime's system to reduce complexity and reduce weight.

Claim 9 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable ever Garehime as modified by Zekich, Feher, and Borthayre as applied to claim 1 above, and further in view of Torian et al.

Garehime as modified by Zekich, Feher, and Borthayre discloses all claimed parts of the invention except for the remote control airplane used to control the airliner. However, Torian et al discloses that an airplane used to control another aircraft is well known In the art. (Please note, that remote control aircrafts are notoriously well known in this day and age).

It would have been obvious to one skilled in the art at the time the invention was made to have used a remote control aircraft to control the hijacked aircraft in Garehime's system as modified by Zekich, Fener, and Borthayre and as taught by Torian et al to prevent the hijackers from taking over the aircraft by having the remote control aircraft fellow the hijacked aircraft so that the central signals can not be lost.

Conclusion

The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure.

Ord, Anderson, Pizzo, and Jensen disclose hijacking prevention means.

Jacoby et al, Diaz, Anastassakis, anti, town disclose security systems.
