Deepbrain AI Inc. manages 4 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. The distribution of 4 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units for only 4 pending actions shows a diverse prosecution landscape with no technical or personnel concentration. This means that each of the 4 pending office actions is being evaluated in a unique technical and administrative environment within the USPTO.
VANCHY JR, MICHAEL J is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because there are 4 distinct examiners for 4 pending office actions, the company's prosecution strategy must be individualized for each case. The involvement of 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's Communications technology is being viewed through four different technical lenses, which may lead to varying requirements for patentability across the 4 pending office actions.
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.
