Harness Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that the company's prosecution efforts are not concentrated under a single individual or unit.
RIVERA, ANIBAL is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Given that there are multiple pending office actions and distinct examiners, the workload is distributed so that this examiner handles 1 pending action.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (25%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
