Aquatic Informatics ULC manages a patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio currently has 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners but are contained within 1 distinct art unit. This structure suggests that while the technical focus of the company's applications is unified within a single administrative group, the company must navigate the individual preferences of multiple officials. Having 1 distinct art unit can lead to more consistent technical feedback, even when dealing with different examiners.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is DINH, LYNDA, who is managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This 1 busiest examiner pending action is part of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. Because the actions are situated within 1 distinct art unit, the company can maintain a consistent technical strategy while adapting to the specific examination styles of the 2 distinct examiners involved. Managing these 2 pending office actions requires a balanced approach that respects the unified standards of the 1 distinct art unit while addressing the specific requirements raised by each of the 2 distinct examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
