Future Dial Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This spread suggests that the 2 active matters involve different communication sub-disciplines, as each is being reviewed by a different examiner in a separate specialized unit.
LIEW, ALEX KOK SOON is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because each of the 2 actions is assigned to a different examiner and art unit, there is no central point of influence for the portfolio's current prosecution. Practitioners should expect to manage unique examiner relationships and navigate the specific standards of the different art units, requiring an individualized approach to each of the 2 pending matters in the Communications sector.
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.
