Laplace System Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions, 3 distinct examiners, and 3 distinct art units in the Computing & Software technology area. This distribution means that no two pending cases are being reviewed by the same person. Such an arrangement requires the applicant to adapt to 3 different examination styles simultaneously within the computing sector. Consistency across the portfolio must be managed manually since no examiner oversees multiple applications.
The active cases are spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating a high level of technical variety as each case is in a different classification group. The busiest examiner is EVERETT, CHRISTOPHER E, who is handling 1 pending action. This figure of 1 pending action for the busiest examiner shows that the workload is evenly spread, with each of the 3 distinct examiners managing exactly one case. Coordinating across 3 distinct art units and 3 distinct examiners necessitates a prosecution strategy that addresses the specific feedback of multiple patent office officials. The applicant should monitor the 3 distinct art units for any diverging trends in examination.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
