Acv Auctions Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This indicates that the portfolio touches multiple specialized examination groups within the software sector.
The busiest examiner for the company is UDDIN, MOHAMMED R, who is currently handling 2 pending office actions. With a busiest examiner pending count of 2, this individual manages half of the 4 total pending office actions. The remaining actions are split among the other distinct examiners in the portfolio.
The distribution across 3 distinct art units for 4 pending office actions suggests a variety of technical focuses. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the 3 distinct examiners involved, while noting the concentration of 2 actions under UDDIN, MOHAMMED R. This balance of concentrated and distributed work requires a flexible prosecution strategy.
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.
