Circle Internet Financial LLC currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a spread of examination despite the small volume of active matters. The workload is evenly split among the assigned staff, as the busiest examiner, VY, HUNG T, is responsible for only 1 pending action.
Practitioners should note that the presence of 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending office actions suggests that the company's innovations may touch upon different regulatory or technical classifications. Because VY, HUNG T handles 1 pending matter, no individual examiner currently dominates the prosecution landscape for this entity. This distribution requires monitoring multiple examiner behaviors simultaneously. The lack of concentration in a single art unit or under a single examiner means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to the specific nuances of each case rather than relying on a unified approach for the entire Computing & Software 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.
