Arashi Vision Inc. is currently managing 10 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These 10 pending office actions are distributed among 10 distinct examiners, which indicates that each active case is being evaluated by a different individual. This distribution means that the company prosecution experience is not concentrated under 1 official.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is MCCULLERS, AARON KYLE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the total of 10 pending office actions is spread across 10 distinct examiners, MCCULLERS, AARON KYLE handles a portion of the workload that is equal to the other examiners involved. This creates a decentralized prosecution environment where the company must address the specific feedback of 10 different people.
The involvement of 5 distinct art units means that the technical review is conducted across different specialized groups at the patent office. With 10 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, the company must navigate various procedural preferences and technical standards. The company must tailor its responses to the specific requirements of the 5 distinct art units involved in the prosecution of these cases.
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 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (60%) |
