This focus suggests that the company is currently prioritizing a specific software innovation for patent protection.
SHEN, SAMUEL is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing the 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution path is currently linear. The company's immediate patent goals in the software space are tied to the resolution of this 1 pending office action. Practitioners should note that with only 1 distinct examiner involved, the success of the current filing depends entirely on addressing the specific concerns of that individual. The 1 distinct art unit involved will dictate the technical standards applied to the 1 pending office action.
