Aiceberg Inc. currently has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This action is assigned to a distinct examiner, CAO, PHUONG THAO, within a distinct art unit. The concentration of this action suggests a very specific prosecution focus for the company at this time. This filing represents the entirety of the company's current pending activity at the USPTO. The examiner's role is central to the current patent strategy, as the Computing & Software technology area often involves complex eligibility hurdles.
CAO, PHUONG THAO is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. This figure matches the total number of pending office actions for the company. With only the distinct art unit involved, the current activity is highly localized within the USPTO's computing divisions. Practitioners should note that the entire pending portfolio is currently managed by the examiner in the Computing & Software technology area, which simplifies the coordination of the prosecution strategy. Navigating these hurdles requires a consistent dialogue with the assigned examiner to ensure the technical merits are clearly communicated.
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.
