Kasten Inc. operates a company patent portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area. There are 2 pending office actions currently active. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, each managing 1 pending matter. This distribution shows that the company is navigating 2 separate review processes within the patent office. The presence of 2 pending office actions indicates a focused effort to secure patent rights in the computing and software domain.
The prosecution is spread across 2 distinct art units, reflecting different technical focuses within the computing field. CHANNAVAJJALA, SRIRAMA T is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The use of 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units provides a varied review process for the company's pending software applications. For a practitioner, this means that each of the 2 pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner in a different art unit. This lack of overlap requires a tailored approach for each application, as the 2 distinct examiners will likely have different perspectives on the 2 pending actions.
