2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 6 patents granted in the last 365 days
Aspeed Technology Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. This workload is distributed across 2 distinct examiners. All prosecution activity is concentrated in 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a focused technical scope for the current portfolio. This alignment of examiners within 1 distinct art unit often requires a coordinated strategy to ensure consistency across different applications. The presence of 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending office actions suggests that the company is not currently experiencing a bottleneck with any individual at the USPTO.
MATHEW DONALD GUSTAFSON is identified as the busiest examiner for the company. This individual is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the total pending actions are 2 and the busiest examiner handles 1, the workload is split between the 2 distinct examiners. Practitioners should note the degree of examiner diversity relative to the active matters. This structure means that while the technical area is focused, the company must navigate the specific preferences of different examiners simultaneously. Managing these separate relationships within 1 distinct art unit allows for a specialized approach to securing patent rights in the computing 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.
