Bwave Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct art units and involve 2 distinct examiners. LIU, ZHENGXI is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. With pending actions and distinct examiners, each case is being reviewed by a different person.
Practitioners will need to address the specific requirements of distinct examiners across separate art units for these active filings. The Communications portfolio is split so that no single examiner manages more than one case. LIU, ZHENGXI is responsible for 1 of the pending office actions, while the other is assigned elsewhere. This distribution requires a prosecution strategy that accounts for the unique perspectives of distinct examiners. The presence of distinct art units for the pending office actions indicates that each matter is classified within a different technical group at the USPTO.
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.
