Alpha Intelligence Manifolds, Inc. manages a company patent portfolio in the Communications technology area. The portfolio currently includes 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners, which means that each pending matter is being evaluated by a different person. This prosecution activity is also occurring across 2 distinct art units at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is RUDOLPH, VINCENT M, who is handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there are 2 pending office actions in total, the 2 distinct examiners share the workload equally, with each responsible for one action. This structure indicates that the company's intellectual property is being reviewed in two separate specialized environments.
Practitioners should observe that the 2 distinct art units and 2 distinct examiners provide a diversified look at how the USPTO perceives the company's communications technology. With 2 pending office actions, the company must respond to the specific technical and procedural feedback of two different examiners. This arrangement ensures that the progress of the portfolio is not tied to a single examiner's decision-making process or a single art unit's internal policies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
