Ars Software Solutions AG currently has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. BURLESON, MICHAEL L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action.
The distribution of 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct examiners indicates that each active case is being handled by a different individual. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, no single examiner is responsible for more than half of the company's current workload. The use of 2 distinct art units further shows that these matters are being processed by different technical groups at the patent office.
For a practitioner, this dispersion means that the company must adapt its arguments to the specific requirements of two different examiners. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the underlying technologies are categorized into separate specialized groups. This variety provides a broader base of examiner feedback, which can be useful for identifying consistent trends or divergent standards across the Communications sector.
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.
