Kaeser Kompressoren SE has 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each of the 3 pending matters is being treated as a separate technical specialty within the broader computing field, requiring independent prosecution tracks.
DAVIS, MARY ALICE is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. With 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units involved, the prosecution of this portfolio is fully decentralized. Practitioners must prepare for 3 unique sets of examiner preferences and art unit guidelines, as there is no overlap in the personnel currently reviewing these applications.
The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's software filings cover diverse technical classifications. Because each of the 3 pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner, success depends on the ability to address individual feedback without the benefit of a centralized examiner relationship. Practitioners should focus on the specific procedural requirements of each of the 3 distinct art units involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
