Collins Aerospace Ireland Limited has 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 3 actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, meaning each case is being handled by a different individual. This requires a separate prosecution approach for each of the 3 pending matters. The portfolio is spread across 2 distinct art units. CHOI, SEUNG HO is the busiest examiner, though he only has 1 pending action.
With 3 actions across 2 art units and 3 examiners, the data shows a lack of concentration, suggesting that the company's current software-related filings are technically distinct from one another. The use of 3 distinct examiners for 3 pending actions means that the company cannot leverage a single examiner relationship across multiple cases. Instead, they must navigate the preferences of three different individuals. CHOI, SEUNG HO is one of three examiners currently evaluating the company's software innovations.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
