Actian Corporation manages a company patent portfolio with 3 pending office actions. These matters are situated in the Computing & Software technology area. The portfolio is spread across 2 distinct art units. This use of 2 art units for 3 actions suggests that the company's software technologies are concentrated within a few technical classifications.
The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners for the 3 pending office actions. HERSHLEY, MARK E is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. This indicates a ratio of 1 examiner to each pending action. For practitioners, this means that each of the 3 matters will be reviewed independently by a different examiner. The diversity of 3 examiners across 2 art units for 3 actions shows a relatively decentralized prosecution landscape. This structure ensures that each software-related filing receives an independent review from a different official within the assigned art units.
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.
