Hem Pharma Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners. The portfolio is distributed across 3 distinct art units, meaning each action is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different group. This distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations cover multiple specialized sub-fields within computing.
ANDERSON-FEARS, KEENAN NEIL is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This represents one of the 3 pending office actions. Since there are 3 pending actions, 3 distinct examiners, and 3 distinct art units, the company's current software prosecution is entirely decentralized. Practitioners should monitor the different art units to ensure that the prosecution of the 3 pending office actions remains consistent despite the lack of centralized oversight.
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.
