Kore AI Inc. operates in the Communications technology area with 2 pending office actions. Both of these actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a highly focused technical review process for the company's current filings. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit means that the company's communications technology is being evaluated by a single specialized group within the patent office. Such focus can lead to more predictable examination outcomes if the art unit's trends are well understood.
The company's prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is being handled by a different person. SARPONG, AKWASI is the busiest examiner, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This workload is shared with the other distinct examiner involved in the portfolio. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the company must manage two separate examiner relationships within the same art unit. This structure allows for individual attention to each of the 2 pending office actions while maintaining a consistent technical environment.
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.
