Artificial Compute, Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This prosecution activity is localized within 1 distinct art unit and assigned to 1 distinct examiner, indicating a narrow and specific focus for the company's current patent filings. This concentration suggests that the company is prioritizing a particular innovation within the transportation or e-commerce sectors rather than a more diverse array of technologies.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is XIE, THEODORE L, who is responsible for the 1 busiest examiner pending office action currently active. As the sole examiner assigned to the company's workload, their individual interpretation of the claims and the relevant statutes will be the primary factor in the portfolio's progress. The reliance on 1 distinct examiner means that the applicant's immediate success is tied to the specific examination style and pace of this one official.
Because the portfolio consists of only 1 pending office action, the administrative burden of tracking deadlines and examiner communications is low. The focus on 1 distinct art unit within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area allows for a highly targeted legal strategy. Future filings would be required to broaden the company's exposure and move beyond this single point of contact at the patent office to mitigate individual examiner risk.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
