1QB Information Technologies Inc. has 5 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed across several distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. Chau T Nguyen is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 1 of the pending office actions. With multiple distinct examiners involved, the company's prosecution strategy is spread across several examination environments.
The fact that the 5 pending office actions are split among distinct examiners shows a decentralized prosecution profile. No single examiner, including Chau T Nguyen, has a dominant influence over the portfolio, as each handles only a single pending office action. This distribution across the 5 distinct art units suggests that the company's work in Computing & Software covers a broad range of sub-technologies. Practitioners must be prepared to manage different sets of examiner expectations and art unit norms simultaneously to advance these applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (20%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
