With the benefit of
the product demonstration, the examiner agreed to issue the claims if the Applicants amended the
claims “to include limitation that will expressly state that the flash memory is the sole memory
to store the received processed sound electrical signal.” (Emphasis added).
If the Patent Examiner understood that claims to mean that
flash memory was used as main memory in lieu of RAM to process the audio data, the proposed
amendment would not have needed to refer to “memory to store the received processed sound
electrical signal.” The Patent Examiner could have required a different amendment, such as the
one Defendants seek to import into the claims. She did not."
=================================
The patent examiner contends the flash memory to be for storage, Woody maintains it to be storage, the patent reads it to be for storage....it does not matter what the data format /makeup might be...it's still for storage!!!!....There is NO!!!! processing being considered in lieu of RAM for the flash....As the flash substrate makeup is not conducive to being used as a prolonged processing agent. There is a limited life cycle to the cell structures ...plain and simple....
sman.....very good....
