3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Global Publishing Interactive Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These 3 actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which provides the company with a variety of perspectives on its patent applications. DEVORE, CHRISTOPHER DILLON is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. This distribution means that each of the 3 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual, preventing any single examiner from dominating the portfolio.
All 3 pending office actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the company is working with 3 distinct examiners, the technical subject matter of the applications is closely related. For practitioners, this concentration in 1 art unit means that the examination standards and technical benchmarks will likely be consistent across all 3 pending matters. The involvement of 3 distinct examiners within a single art unit allows the company to see how different officials within the same department interpret its Communications-related innovations.
The strategy for Global Publishing Interactive Inc. must account for the individual styles of the 3 distinct examiners while adhering to the guidelines of the 1 distinct art unit. Since DEVORE, CHRISTOPHER DILLON handles 1 pending office action, his influence is limited to one-third of the current portfolio. This examiner diversity within a single art unit is beneficial for identifying the most effective arguments for the company's technology. Practitioners should leverage the feedback from all 3 pending office actions to refine their overall prosecution approach.
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.
