Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different examiner in a different specialized unit. With 2 distinct art units involved, the university's software-related innovations are being reviewed under the specific standards of two different computing divisions.
The busiest examiner, CHAVEZ, ANTHONY RAY, is overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This represents a portion of the 2 pending office actions. Because the 2 pending office actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners, the university must manage separate sets of examiner expectations. Practitioners should note that the 1 busiest examiner pending office action handled by CHAVEZ, ANTHONY RAY is subject to the unique guidelines of its specific art unit. This structure requires a versatile prosecution strategy that can address the technical requirements of 2 distinct art units simultaneously.
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.
