Datum Point Labs Inc. has 11 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are assigned to 11 distinct examiners across 10 distinct art units. This shows a high degree of distribution for the portfolio's current workload, with almost every action being handled by a different examiner.
The busiest examiner, FOSTER JR., MICHAEL ALAN, is responsible for 1 pending action. With 11 pending office actions and 11 distinct examiners, each matter is being reviewed by a different person. This lack of examiner overlap across the 10 distinct art units suggests a wide range of communications technologies are being prosecuted simultaneously.
The 11 pending office actions are spread nearly evenly across 10 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical footprint for the company. The involvement of 11 distinct examiners means that the company must adapt to 11 different examiner styles for its current pending matters, as the 1 busiest examiner pending action confirms that no single examiner manages more than 1 case.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (27%) |
| §103 only | 6 (55%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (18%) |
