Consensus Sales LLC currently has 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. Both of these matters are assigned to 1 distinct examiner, TAN, ALVIN H. This individual is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, handling 2 pending cases within 1 distinct art unit.
The consolidation of 2 pending office actions under 1 distinct examiner creates a focused prosecution environment. TAN, ALVIN H is the sole decision-maker for the current active portfolio, meaning that the company's success in the Computing & Software field depends on this relationship. This arrangement allows for a unified strategy where arguments can be consistently applied.
With 1 distinct art unit involved, the technical standards and prior art being applied to the 2 pending office actions are likely to be very similar. TAN, ALVIN H manages 2 pending cases, which may allow for procedural efficiencies as the examiner becomes familiar with the company's technology. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination history of this 1 distinct examiner to resolve the pending cases effectively.
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.
