Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. currently manages 9 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These active cases are handled by 9 distinct examiners across 7 distinct art units. This exact match between the number of pending actions and the number of examiners indicates that every single application is being reviewed by a different person.
MAY, ROBERT F is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Because there are 9 pending office actions and 9 distinct examiners, no individual examiner holds more than one case. This total lack of examiner overlap requires a prosecution strategy tailored to 9 different individual perspectives.
The 7 distinct art units involved show that Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. has a broad reach within the Computing & Software sector, touching many different specialized groups. With 9 pending office actions spread so thinly across examiners and art units, practitioners cannot rely on building a rapport with a single primary examiner for this portfolio.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 5 (56%) |
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (11%) |
