Aptima, Inc. manages 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 2 actions are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending case has a unique point of contact. Despite having different examiners, both actions are situated within 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner is ROBINSON, GRETA LEE, who is responsible for 1 pending action.
The concentration in 1 art unit suggests that the company's current software innovations are closely related. However, the use of 2 distinct examiners means the prosecution team must adapt to two different individual styles within that single art unit. Having 2 pending actions in 1 distinct art unit allows for some procedural consistency, even if the 2 distinct examiners have different technical interpretations. ROBINSON, GRETA LEE is one of two individuals currently evaluating the company's software-related intellectual property.
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.
