Bluwave Inc. manages a patent portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area. The data identifies 3 pending office actions currently in progress. This volume suggests an active level of prosecution for the company's software-based innovations.
The prosecution effort is spread across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This ratio between actions, examiners, and art units indicates that each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled in a different technical division of the patent office. Such a distribution suggests that the company's software technology is multidisciplinary and touches on three separate specialized areas.
MCCLEARY, CAITLIN RENEE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since each of the 3 pending office actions is assigned to a different person among the 3 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly distributed. Practitioners must therefore tailor their strategies to the specific standards of 3 distinct art units to successfully resolve these pending matters in the Computing & Software field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
