Atapir, Inc. maintains 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units, showing a distributed prosecution profile for the current portfolio. This distribution suggests that the company's current filings cover different technical aspects within the communications sector, requiring engagement with multiple specialized units at the office.
The busiest examiner, ALLISON, ANDRAE S, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This indicates that the 2 pending office actions are divided equally between the 2 distinct examiners assigned to these matters. For a practitioner, this means managing two separate examiner relationships and navigating the specific requirements of 2 distinct art units simultaneously, rather than centralizing efforts under one reviewer.
In the Communications field, having the workload split across multiple reviewers can lead to different prosecution timelines and outcomes. Since ALLISON, ANDRAE S is only handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action, no single individual dominates the company's current legal landscape. This balanced workload requires a coordinated strategy to ensure consistency in technical arguments across the 2 distinct art units involved in the 2 pending office actions.
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.
