The examiner maintains that every pending claim is obvious in view of Ramachandra (a 2018 patent publication on NAND logic structures) alone or combined with up to six additional references. Obviousness under §103 means the examiner believes a person skilled in the art would have found the claimed invention an expected variation of what these prior patents already teach.
A response is due within three months (extendable to six months with fees). Because this is Final, the applicant's options are narrower: file a compelling argument or amendment that places the claims in condition for allowance, request an examiner interview to resolve disputes, or file a Request for Continued Examination (RCE) to reopen prosecution.
