BLOOM TECHNOLOGY, INC. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and distinct art units, resulting in a decentralized prosecution profile. MINCEY, JERMAINE A is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action. This means each of the distinct examiners is handling a pending office action.
The presence of multiple art units for the actions suggests that the company's software filings are being categorized into different technical niches. Practitioners should be prepared for separate prosecution paths, as the 2 pending office actions share neither an examiner nor an art unit. The lack of overlap among the 2 distinct examiners indicates that strategies successful with MINCEY, JERMAINE A may not apply to the other pending action. With the distinct art units involved, the pending office actions in Computing & Software are subject to the standards of different technical departments.
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.
