Technology area: Computing & Software
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Arent Inc. maintains a company patent portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area. There are 2 pending office actions currently active. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are located within only 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a high degree of departmental concentration despite the involvement of multiple individual reviewers.
GEBRESILASSIE, KIBROM K is the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This examiner is currently handling 1 pending office action. This represents a portion of the 2 total pending actions currently active for the company. Because the workload is split between the examiners, the company must address separate sets of feedback within a single technical division.
The fact that 2 distinct examiners are working within the identified art unit suggests that the company's innovations fall under a very specific technical classification. The company must manage the active actions while navigating the specific standards and practices of this department. This requires a focused strategy that addresses the individual concerns of GEBRESILASSIE, KIBROM K and the other examiner while adhering to the department's unified criteria.
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.
