Changzhou University is currently handling 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The workload is split between the 2 different units, which requires the university to manage separate prosecution tracks. Practitioners must be prepared to adapt to the different technical focuses and examination styles of 2 distinct examiners. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the university is pursuing multiple technical paths within the Computing & Software sector.
SACKALOSKY, COREY MATTHEW is the busiest examiner for the university, responsible for 1 pending office action. With 2 pending office actions in total, the university's patent activity is spread across 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the university is exploring multiple facets of the Computing & Software field. Practitioners should monitor the 2 distinct examiners for any differences in how they apply examination guidelines. Managing 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units requires careful coordination to ensure that the legal arguments remain consistent. This level of activity indicates a steady effort by the university to protect its software-related innovations. The presence of 2 distinct examiners means that the university's success is not tied to the decisions of a single individual at the USPTO.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
