2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Alpha Intelligence Manifolds, Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each pending matter is being handled by a different examiner in a different specialized group within the USPTO. Such a spread suggests that the company's current patent applications cover diverse technical aspects within the broader communications field, requiring different sets of expertise for evaluation.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is KOETH, MICHELLE M, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This accounts for half of the total pending actions for the company. With 2 distinct art units involved, the prosecution of these 2 actions may encounter different examination standards or timelines. Practitioners should prepare for varied feedback, as the lack of concentration in a single art unit or under a single examiner reduces the likelihood of a uniform prosecution experience across the portfolio.
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.
