Act:

(1).आिव कारी कदम / INVENTIVE STEP:

(I) ऊपर उ रत द तावेज़(ज ) के संदभ D1:US5388615A,D2:US20130146166A1 & D3:US7556171B2 मे प अ यापन(न )
को यान मे रखते हए, िन निलिखत कारण से दावा(व ) (1-9) मे आिव कारी कदम क कमी है
Claim(s) (1-9) lack(s) inventive step, being obvious in view of teaching (s) of cited document(s) above under
reference D1:US5388615A,D2:US20130146166A1 & D3:US7556171B2 for the following reasons:
In view of the documents D1-D3: the present alleged invention does not falls under section 2(1) (ja) of The
Patents Act, 1970 (as amended) and a person skilled in the art will be motivated by the above cited documents to
conclude alleged invention.
D1 discloses a sealing means and sealing valve which is comprised from a first housing portion 11 and a second
housing portion 12. A seal 13, made from rubber-elastic material for example silicone elastomere PU, PVC, TPE
(thermoplastic elastomers), or from a fluoroelastomere, for example FPM, is arranged between the first and the
second housing portion 11, 12.
D2 discloses an auto shut off device which includes a restrictive flow orifice (RFO) disc designed to restrict and
isolate gas flow. The RFO disc is designed to flex in response to a specific pressure drop that develops as a
result of a system failure. When the failure occurs, the RFO disc flexes into a sealed position which blocks the
discharge flow path.
D3 discloses a tank, including: a pair of adjacent members which are provided adjacently to each other; a seal

 THE PATENT OFFICE

member which has elasticity and seals the adjacent portions of the pair of adjacent members; and a high-
hardness part which is provided at least one of the pair of adjacent members at the adjacent portions of the pair
of adjacent members, and has a hardness higher than that of the at least one of the pair of adjacent members

(II) इस आवेदन का दावा (के दावे) सह-लंिबत आवेदन सं या के दावे के पर पर िवरोध मे है

Claim(s)of the instant application conflict(s) with claim(s) of co-pending application no.

(3).पकटन क द ता /SUFFICIENCY OF DISCLOSURE:

(4). प ता एवं संि ता /CLARITY AND CONCISENESS:

(I) दावा(वे) 1-9 के संबंध मे प प से परीभािषत नह ह.
Claim(s) 1-9 are not clearly worded in respect of:
Drafting of claims is not proper because of which the nature & scope of the alleged invention can not be clearly
ascertained. The statement of claims should therefore be revised & all essential features of the invention should
be brought in claim 1 while subsidiary features of the invention may be claimed in dependent claims.

(5).प रभािषकता /DEFINITIVENESS:

(I) दावा(वे)1-9 िन निलिखत कारण से आिव कार को पया प से परीभािषत नह करता(ते) ह
Claim(s) 1-9 do not sufficiently define the invention for the reasons as follows:
1.The phrase "of claim" in the dependent claims should be replace by “as claimed in claim”.
2.The subsequent claims should elaborate the features of principal claim after the phrase “as claimed in claim
…wherein”.

(6).अ य आव यकताएँ /OTHERS REQUIREMENTS:

(I)
Claims 1 and 6 and claims 8-9 are essentially duplicates of one another or else are so close in content that they
both cover the same thing,despite a slight difference in wording.It is improper to have two claims which contains
the same limitations,in the same application as one claims would be substantially duplicate of the other claims.
