Absolute Software Corporation is active in the Computing & Software technology area. The company has 3 pending office actions. These actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is being handled by a different person. This distribution requires the applicant to adapt to three different personal styles and examination approaches within the portfolio.
The prosecution is distributed across 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's software innovations fall into at least two different technical classifications. Practitioners must account for the different examination standards that may exist between these 2 units. The variety of art units suggests that the portfolio's technical scope is not limited to a single specialized niche.
The busiest examiner is RAHMAN, FAHMIDA. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the 3 pending actions are evenly distributed among the examiners. No single examiner has a concentrated influence over the current pending portfolio. Practitioners should focus on the individual requirements of each official to move the applications forward.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
