The portfolio for E Surfing Iot Co. Ltd. currently involves 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct art units and distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is being evaluated in a unique administrative and personal context. This total lack of overlap between examiners and art units suggests a fragmented prosecution landscape.
MICHAEL PHAM is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are only handling 1 pending action. Given that there are the 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is distributed equally. This distribution requires the company to manage separate tracks of communication and negotiation, as each of the distinct art units may have different internal guidelines for Computing & Software applications. The company faces the 1 pending action under this examiner while navigating the broader Computing & Software landscape.
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.
