Ipventure Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners. The data shows that 2 distinct art units are involved in the prosecution of these matters. This indicates that each of the company's pending applications is being handled by a different examiner in a different art unit, which could lead to diverse examination experiences.
HAILE, BENYAM is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly divided. Each examiner is responsible for 1 of the 2 pending actions, ensuring that the company's current prosecution efforts in the Communications field are not concentrated under a single individual or art unit.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's communications technology may span multiple sub-specialties within the patent office. Practitioners should monitor both units to ensure consistency in the arguments presented for each application.
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.
