Artifriends Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are divided between the same number of distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing a lack of concentration in the current prosecution. The involvement of the art units suggests that the company's software innovations are being evaluated under different examination criteria or technical classifications, requiring a tailored approach for the matters.
WAI, ERIC CHARLES is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. Since there are multiple examiners for the pending actions, each individual is responsible for exactly the same amount of work. This distribution across the art units suggests that the company's current legal matters are being handled in separate technical niches. With the office actions in total, the company must coordinate its strategy across different examiners to ensure consistency in its patent portfolio while addressing the specific requirements of the units.
