STATEMENT UNDER ARTICLE 19 (1)
Claims 1, 10, and 19 are each amended to require an loT device having a “current measuring device” that calculates a current used by an electrical device connected to the loT device, and a status signal based on a current measurement and a deviation from a specified power level for the electrical device. The search report cited to U.S. Patent No. 10,187,773 to Zalewski et al. (“Zalewski”) at col. 14, lines 27-30 and col. 40, line 21 as allegedly disclosing a “current sensing device,” but Applicant submits that the cited portion of Zalewski discloses neither a current sensing device, nor the “current measuring device” now claimed. Instead, the cited portions of Zalewski merely state as follows:
In traditional wiring schemes , power to the light or outlet is provided directly through gate in the switch , so the switch is “ hot ” because it passes AC current.
* * *
Devices plugged into an AC socket may be registered with the AC socket ... Applicants submit that these portions, and those immediately following, relate to the detecting state of a switch and do not disclose a “current measuring device” as claimed, nor a status signal based on based on a current measurement and a deviation from a specified power level, nor do other related portions of Zalewski. See Zalewski, col. 14, line 6-col. 16, line 22; col. 75, line 17- col. 78, line 11. Thus, Applicant submits that claims 1, 10, 19 (as amended) and their dependent claims, i.e., all pending claims, are novel under PCT Article 33(2) and include an inventive step under PCT Article 33(3).
Claim 2 is amended to clarify that “said signal” is “said periodic signal.”
Claim 6 have been amended to respond to the observations in Box. No. VIII of the Search
Report so that it is no longer a duplicate of claim 5.
33 Claim 20 has been amended to respond to the antecedent basis observation in Box. No.
VIII of the Search Report so that claim 20 properly depends from claim 19.
