Clockwork Systems Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. Both of these actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art units, suggesting a specific technical focus for the company's current patent applications. The prosecution is split between 2 distinct examiners, which means that each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different official.
GUZMAN, JAVIER O is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This represents one of the total 2 pending office actions, with the remaining action assigned to another individual. Despite the concentration in 1 distinct art units, the involvement of 2 distinct examiners means the company must navigate two different examination styles. This requires a prosecution strategy that can address the specific concerns of each examiner within the same technical group in the Computing & Software sector.
