Gist(Gwangju Institute Of Science And Technology) has 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and multiple art units. This distribution reflects a diverse range of software and computing innovations within the institute's portfolio.
Examiner VAUGHN, RYAN C is the busiest examiner for the institute, holding 1 pending office action. With multiple distinct examiners each handling a single pending office action, the portfolio is widely distributed across the USPTO's software examination corps. This means that no individual examiner's historical data will dominate the portfolio's overall metrics.
The involvement of distinct art units for the pending actions requires the institute to manage prosecution across separate specialized groups. Each art unit may have its own unique interpretation of software patentability and procedural requirements. Successfully advancing the pending matters will require a flexible strategy that accounts for the different perspectives of the examiners and art units involved.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
