DRNC Holdings Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, which indicates the spread of examination oversight relative to the 3 pending office actions. Each pending matter is handled by a different individual, as evidenced by the presence of 3 distinct examiners.
ROBINSON, TERRELL M is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, though this individual is responsible for only 1 pending office action. The alignment of 3 distinct art units with 3 pending office actions suggests that the company's intellectual property in Communications is being evaluated across 3 technical classifications. Practitioners should note that the presence of 3 distinct examiners means prosecution strategies may need to be tailored to the specific preferences of 3 individuals. With 3 distinct examiners involved, the company must maintain consistent technical arguments across 3 separate prosecution tracks.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
