Dgshape Corporation is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. This level of activity suggests a focused effort to protect the company's software-related intellectual property through a targeted prosecution strategy.
The portfolio's active matters are split between a matching number of distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different specialist in a separate section of the patent office, requiring the company to manage two distinct administrative paths.
FENNEMA, ROBERT E is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. With only two distinct examiners involved in total, the company's prosecution success will depend on meeting the specific expectations of different officials within the Computing & Software field. Practitioners should monitor the feedback from the 1 pending office action under this examiner to refine their broader strategy.
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.
