About this file

This document contains various attachment examples related to a federal contract opportunity issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for Search Services. The contract will provide the USPTO with Automated Biotechnology Sequence Search (ABSS), Chemical Structure Searching, and Text (General) Searching services to support the patent examination process. The contract will be a best value firm fixed price award. The attachments provide sample search requests for these different types of searches, including required concepts, limitations, and background information. The federal contract opportunity is for a pre-solicitation, and the agency is seeking a highly-qualified team with technical capabilities to provide innovative approaches and industry best practices. Vendors are requested to submit a capability statement of 1-2 pages in response to this announcement.

Attachment 5a - Chem Text Search Example 1

Provide the concepts or limitations you want searched. Include synonyms and define acronyms (if any):

This is a complex compound or composition of a nanocomposite solid material comprising nanoparticles and a support, in a product claim. As such, I will not attempt to summarize the necessary claim limitations. Please see claim 1 in the RCE filed on 5-01-2017 for the relevant claim limitations.

Comments:

The closest prior art used in the application appears to be Folch et al. (Synthesis and behaviour of size controlled cyano-bridged coordination polymer nanoparticies within hybrid mesoporous silica, New J. Chem., (11-12-2007), 32, p. 273-82). However, this was used in conjunction with Antropova et al. (Optica Applicata, vol. 38, 1, 2008, 265 pages) in an obviousness or 103 rejection.

As such, I am interested in the possibility of any existing prior art that is closer than Folch.

Attachment 5b - Chem Text Search Example 2

Provide the concepts or limitations you want searched. Include synonyms and define acronyms (if any):

I am looking for references which disclose sulfidation of metal oxides with gaseous S2 in particular, to produce a sulfidated component and then using the sulfidated component as a catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). In the closest prior art I found

(Anderson; see attachment), the metal oxide is sulfidated using a mixture of H2S and H2 prior to the OCM reaction.

Attachment 5c - Elec Text Search Example 1

Effective filing date that you are trying to beat: 09/04/2013

Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB): No

Provide the concepts or limitations you want searched. Include synonyms and define acronyms (if any):

3 phase motor/generator with 8 rotor magnetic poles ( permanent magnets) and 6 (stator slots) , or rotor magnetic pole to slot ratio of 8:6.

2400 Search Request - Rush

Effective filing date that you are trying to beat: 20120622 Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB): No

Provide the concepts or limitations you want searched. Include synonyms and define acronyms (if any): "registering a counter reading from a remote counter oflogin attempts in the encrypted user login metadata set, the remote counter stored in a secure location separate from the storage location, wherein the encrypted user login metadata includes a version number based on the counter readingj determining a lockout state of the encrypted user login metadata set by detecting tampering with the user login metadata set based on a comparison of the counter reading and the version number; and encrypting the encrypted user login metadata with a second level of encryption in response to determining the lockout state by detecting tampering with the user login metadata set." See below for comments

Comments:

NOTE: 1. "login metadata" is bit misleading. username, password, credential, profile are better words; 2. version is associated with "login metadata" and is based on counter 3, "login metadata' 1 will be encrypted second time, that is, encrypt "login metadata"; encrypt the encrypted "login metadata", if tempering is found/detected.

Attachment 5d - Elec Text Search Example 2

Attachment 5e - Mech Text Search Example 1

Effective filing date that you are trying to beat: 10/23/13

Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB): No

Provide the concepts or limitations you want searched. Include synonyms and define acronyms (if any):

display, display housing, a fiber composite display housing layer, array of depressions & planar display housing layer
