Arashi Vision Inc. has 9 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 8 distinct art units, showing a high level of technical variety for a small portfolio. The company is working with 9 distinct examiners, meaning every one of the 9 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual. This 1:1 ratio of actions to examiners indicates a decentralized prosecution. The 8 distinct art units suggest that the company's communications innovations touch on many different specialized fields.
MCCULLERS, AARON KYLE is the busiest examiner, though he only has 1 pending office action. This lack of examiner overlap means that the company cannot leverage experience with a single examiner to benefit multiple cases. Each of the 9 pending office actions must be prosecuted independently within its own art unit. Practitioners must manage 9 distinct examiner relationships without any opportunity to leverage experience with a single examiner across multiple cases. The 9 pending office actions in the Communications area require a customized approach for each individual matter.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (50%) |
