2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Datashapes Inc. is currently managing a portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area with 2 pending office actions. These 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's software innovations span different technical classifications. For practitioners, this distribution requires a flexible approach to prosecution, as each of the 2 distinct art units may have its own specific examination culture and procedural expectations. Success in these matters depends on addressing the unique technical requirements of both of the 2 distinct art units.
The prosecution effort is managed by 2 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending matter is reviewed by a different official. LEE, TSU-CHANG is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners involved in the 2 pending office actions, there is no centralization of the examination process. Practitioners must develop separate advocacy strategies for each matter to account for the individual preferences of LEE, TSU-CHANG and the other assigned official. Effectively managing the 2 pending office actions requires a high degree of coordination to resolve the 1 pending office action assigned to the busiest examiner.
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.
