Centre For Perceptual And Interactive Intelligence (Cpii) Limited holds a patent portfolio in the Communications technology area. The portfolio currently has 3 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for exactly 1 pending office action.
The prosecution is spread across 2 distinct art units. This indicates that while the 3 pending office actions are all within the Communications field, they are divided between two different technical groups at the USPTO. JON CHRISTOPHER MEIS is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 1 pending office action.
With 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly distributed. JON CHRISTOPHER MEIS, as the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, represents one of the three unique examiner perspectives currently reviewing the company's applications. The use of 2 distinct art units suggests some technical variety within the Communications portfolio. Practitioners must address 3 distinct examiners across 2 art units, requiring a strategy that accounts for multiple examiner viewpoints.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
