5 pending office actions • 1 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Interman Corporation has 5 pending office actions located within the Communications technology area. These 5 actions are assigned to 5 distinct examiners, yet all 5 are housed within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the technology is concentrated enough to stay within 1 art unit, the workload is distributed as broadly as possible among the examiners there. This arrangement may lead to different prosecution styles even though the technical subject matter remains within the same specialized unit. Practitioners must be prepared to adapt to the individual styles of 5 different examiners while operating within the constraints of 1 art unit.
The busiest examiner is YEUNG, MATTHEW, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that there are 5 distinct examiners for 5 pending actions, every examiner, including YEUNG, MATTHEW, is currently handling 1 action. This uniform distribution across the examiner pool suggests that no 1 examiner's tendencies will dominate the prosecution of the company's current pending applications. This lack of consolidation means that the company must manage 5 separate examiner relationships to advance its pending patent applications. The outcome of each case will depend on the specific interactions with each of the 5 distinct examiners within the 1 distinct art unit.
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.
