Guilin University Of Technology currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, which indicates a diverse range of software-related research being examined simultaneously. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners suggests that the university is navigating different examination styles and requirements across its active applications. This distribution requires a more varied prosecution strategy compared to portfolios concentrated in a single art unit.
BLOOMQUIST, KEITH D is the busiest examiner for the university, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, this examiner is responsible for a portion of the university's current pending workload. The presence of 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units for the pending actions shows that each individual matter is being handled in a unique administrative environment within the patent office. This variety provides the university with multiple channels of feedback on its computing and software innovations.
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.
