Liquibase Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This action is being handled by LYONS, ANDREW M, the sole distinct examiner for the company. With only 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution is currently focused on a single point of contact at the USPTO. This concentration means that the company's current success at the USPTO relies on the specific interpretation and feedback of a single official.
The busiest examiner, LYONS, ANDREW M, is responsible for 1 pending office action, which represents the full extent of the company's current active docket. This one-to-one relationship between the examiner and the pending action count simplifies the management of the portfolio but increases the impact of that single examiner's decisions. Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences and historical trends of this individual examiner within the Computing & Software field.
Because there is only 1 distinct art unit, the technology is likely specialized within the software domain. The absence of other pending actions or distinct examiners means there are no alternative prosecution paths currently active to offset any challenges encountered with this single application. This focused profile requires a precise and well-supported response to the 1 pending office action currently on record.
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.
