Australian National University

Analysis

Australian National University currently manages 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This prosecution activity is limited to 1 distinct art unit and is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner. This indicates a highly specific area of current interest within the university's broader research and development efforts, specifically focused on communications technology. The use of 1 art unit suggests that the pending matter is well-defined within the patent office's classification system, rather than spanning multiple technical disciplines.

The busiest examiner for this portfolio is DOBSON, DANIEL G, who is handling 1 pending office action. Since the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is responsible for all current pending matters. This singular focus provides a clear point of contact for the university's current interactions with the patent office in this technology sector. For practitioners, this means that the university's immediate patent outcomes in communications are entirely dependent on the review process of this 1 examiner. The absence of other pending actions across different examiners or art units highlights the focused nature of the university's current active prosecution in this specific field.
