Kognitos Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These are handled by 2 distinct examiners in 1 distinct art unit. GUERRA-ERAZO, EDGAR X is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action.
Having 2 pending office actions in 1 distinct art unit allows for a focused technical approach. However, because there are 2 distinct examiners, practitioners should be prepared for different subjective evaluations of the matters. The strategy should focus on the specific practices of the single art unit while addressing the individual concerns of each examiner. The presence of 1 pending action per examiner means no single individual controls the entire pending portfolio.
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.
