Analysis

Additive Technologies LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and are being reviewed in 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each pending application is being handled by a different individual in a different technical group.

The busiest examiner, CHAU, JESSICA DORA, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner handles 1 of the 2 current pending actions, with the other action assigned to a different individual. This results in an even distribution of the workload across the portfolio's examiners.

The presence of 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending actions suggests that the company's software-related filings are technically diverse enough to fall into different classification groups. Each pending matter is being prosecuted independently, requiring the company to manage two separate tracks at the patent office.
