Atom Computing Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner is KIM, ROBERT H, who is responsible for 1 pending office action.
The 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, with each handling one action. Both examiners are situated in the same 1 distinct art unit. This structure allows the practitioner to maintain a consistent strategy within the art unit while addressing the 2 pending office actions individually.
The presence of 2 distinct examiners for only 2 actions shows a lack of examiner concentration. Practitioners must navigate the specific requirements of KIM, ROBERT H and the other examiner within the Computing & Software technology area. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests the technical subject matter is closely related.
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.
