The examiner maintains that the claims are directed to an abstract idea without significantly more. Abstract idea rejections under §101 mean the examiner believes the invention is a mental process, mathematical calculation, or business method that lacks a technical solution. This is a Final Office Action after RCE, meaning the applicant previously filed a Request for Continued Examination and the examiner has now issued a second final rejection on the same §101 grounds.

The applicant typically has three months to respond, extendable to six months with fees. Because this is a Final Office Action after RCE, options are more limited: argue that the claims provide significantly more than the abstract idea (often by showing a technical improvement), amend the claims to add concrete technical elements, request an examiner interview to clarify the technical contribution, or file another RCE to continue prosecution.
