Convida Wireless LLC is managing 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. Both of these actions are located in 1 distinct art unit, which points to a narrow technical specialization in its current prosecution. The company is working with 2 distinct examiners for these filings. Sanchit K Sarker is the busiest examiner, though he is responsible for only 1 pending office action.
This distribution shows that the 2 pending actions are split between two different examiners despite being in the same art unit. The focus on 1 distinct art unit suggests a concentrated effort in a specific area of software. With 2 distinct examiners involved, the company must address different sets of examiner feedback for its 2 pending matters. Practitioners should note that the 1 distinct art unit provides a consistent technical environment. Sanchit K Sarker handles 1 of the active cases.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
