AyDeeKay LLC has 7 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This arrangement indicates that the company's software prosecution involves a diverse set of reviewers across 4 specialized units. The presence of 6 distinct examiners for 7 actions means that most examiners are handling only one matter for the company.
The busiest examiner for the company is GREGORY, BERNARR E, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This indicates that while GREGORY, BERNARR E handles 2 of the actions, the remaining matters are spread across the other 6 distinct examiners. With multiple reviewers involved, the company faces a variety of examination perspectives. Practitioners must manage these 7 pending actions by accounting for the specific preferences of the various individuals, even as some actions are consolidated under GREGORY, BERNARR E within the specialized units.
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.
