Perspective 1
Based on the provided
context, none of the patents listed appear to have claims that share
significant similarities with the claim in question. Every claim listed in the
context pertains to telecommunications or wireless technology, involving
elements such as transmitters, receivers, antennas, and wireless interfaces.
In contrast, the claim in question describes a physical device with a housing,
a movable controller, a concave surface, and a plurality of impressions that
define distinct directions in which the controller can be moved. This does not
exhibit any clear alignment with the technologies disclosed in the provided
patents. While both the claim in question and the patents refer to apparatuses
and controllers, the context in which these terms are used differ greatly, with
one being a physical device and the others being telecommunication systems.
Hence, there doesn't seem to be any prior art argument for this case based on
the provided context and legal grounds.
However, in a hypothetical scenario, if there were a patent claim that
described a similar physical device with a movable controller and distinct
directional impressions, it could serve as a valid prior art reference
under [35 USC 102(a)]. This could be used to argue that the
claim in question is neither novel nor non-obvious, therefore invalidating it
under [35 USC 102(b)] and [35 USC 103(a)]. If the prior art reference fully disclosed all elements
of the claim in question, an anticipation argument could be made under [35 USC 102(c)]. If there were evidence of public use of a similar device
before the filing date, it could render the claim non-novel under [35 USC 102(d)]. Potential arguments for the EPO legal ground could
include lack of novelty and lack of inventive step under [Article 54 EPC] and [Article 56 EPC] respectively.
Perspective 2
Based on the provided
context, there are no similar phrases or technologies found that could be used
for legal prior art arguments against the initial patent claim. The initial
claim pertains to an apparatus for generating a data signal with a specific
physical control mechanism, while the patents in the context mostly relate to
wireless communication and data transmission, antenna configurations, and
encoding methods. None of the provided patents disclose or discuss a similar
process or method as in the initial claim.
Below are the details:
- [Patent 10158458, Claim 14] discusses a transmitter device
mapping data according to different sequence patterns. This does not teach or
disclose an apparatus with a moveable controller or impressions defining
distinct directions.
- [Patent 9178598, Claim 1] discloses a wireless
transmission apparatus using precoding and spatial multiplexing. There is no
mention of a moveable controller or impressions defining distinct directions.
- [Patent 9596011, Claim 1] discusses a terminal apparatus
supporting a plurality of precoding schemes. This does not feature a moveable
controller, concave surface, or impressions defining directions.
- [Patent 8009656, Claim 1] describes a mobile station
apparatus that communicates using a multicarrier scheme. There is no disclosure
of a housing, controller, concave surface, or impressions defining distinct
directions.
- [Patent 10951242, Claim 15] pertains to a wireless
communication system apparatus encoding and transmitting punctured bits. No
details are provided about a moveable controller or impressions defining
distinct directions.
- [Patent 8565328, Claim 16] pertains to an apparatus for
receiving channel quality information. This does not teach or disclose an
apparatus with a moveable controller or impressions defining distinct
directions.
- [Patent 10375529, Claim 1] discusses a method for receiving
a signal of a physical downlink shared channel. This does not feature a
moveable controller, concave surface, or impressions defining directions.
- [Patent 10873838, Claim 13] discusses an apparatus receiving
and transmitting information related to resource blocks and cyclic shifts. This
does not disclose a housing, controller, concave surface, or impressions
defining distinct directions.
- [Patent 9226045, Claim 17] pertains to a computer program
product receiving and sending video data for multiple views of a scene. This
does not teach or disclose an apparatus with a moveable controller or
impressions defining distinct directions.
Therefore, based on the context provided, there is no potential legal prior art
against the initial patent claim under USPTO or EPO legal grounds.
