Kayak Software Corporation has 3 pending office actions in Computing & Software. Each matter is associated with a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, creating a fully distributed set of examination assignments within the current workload.
ELIAS, EARL L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has more than that single pending assignment, so portfolio coordination should emphasize matter-specific preparation rather than a dominant examiner relationship.
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.
