Langcode Inc. is active in the Computing & Software technology area. The company's patent prosecution profile currently features 1 pending office action. This 1 pending office action indicates a highly concentrated prosecution effort for the company's current filings at the USPTO.
The prosecution activity is situated within 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BERMAN, STEPHEN DAVID, who is currently managing 1 pending office action. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the technical scope of the pending matter is focused within a specific area of Computing & Software.
For practitioners, having 1 distinct examiner and 1 pending office action means that the prosecution strategy is entirely focused on a single set of examiner requirements. The role of BERMAN, STEPHEN DAVID is central to the company's current USPTO engagement. This focused approach allows for a more efficient response to the 1 pending office action without the need to manage varying examiner styles across the 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.
