The examiner argues: “(Column 13, lines 24-28) state that,
‘if it is a sale of a used vehicle, the “current owner” is
converted to the prior owner 112 and the new owner’s name and
address and other appropriate information are entered 114’, and
(column 15, lines 9-19) show that ‘verification and [sic, of]
authenticity of the asset and its current owner is performed
[sic, made]’” (answer, page 9).
The examiner has not established that Rose, Jr.’s disclosure
that “the ‘current owner’ is converted to the prior owner 112 and
the new owner’s name and address and other appropriate
information are entered” (col. 13, lines 24-26) discloses, either
expressly or inherently, that the current ownership (the seller)
is verified before it is converted to the prior ownership and
replaced by the new ownership (the buyer). As for Rose, Jr.’s
disclosure of verifying the authenticity of the asset and its
current owner, this verifying takes place after the current owner
(the seller) has been replaced by the new owner (the buyer).
Hence, the current owner referred to by Rose, Jr. regarding this
verification step is the buyer, and it is the inputted buyer data
