Liveline Technologies Inc. is active in the Computing & Software technology area. The portfolio currently features 3 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company is managing multiple patent applications simultaneously across various technical classifications.
COOK, BRIAN S is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This means that COOK, BRIAN S is responsible for 1 of the 3 pending office actions. The use of 3 distinct art units indicates that the subject matter spans different technical groups within the patent office, requiring a versatile prosecution approach.
For a practitioner, the presence of 3 distinct examiners requires a flexible strategy. While COOK, BRIAN S handles 1 busiest examiner pending action, the other pending matters are overseen by different individuals. Success in these 3 pending office actions depends on addressing the specific requirements of each of the 3 distinct art units involved in the process.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
