Makeblock Hongkong Holding Limited currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 2 actions constitute the company's current active workload in this sector. The focus on computing indicates a specific technological priority for the company's research and development efforts.
The workload is distributed among 2 distinct examiners. This means each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual, providing two separate perspectives on the company's filings. Follansbee, Yvonne Trang is identified as the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending action, which is half of the total workload.
The actions are spread across 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the 2 pending office actions cover different technical sub-sectors within the broader Computing & Software field. The lack of art unit overlap means that the prosecution team must navigate two different sets of technical standards and prior art databases.
With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending office actions, there is no consolidation in the portfolio. Each case requires a unique strategy tailored to the specific examiner, such as Follansbee, Yvonne Trang, and their respective art unit. Practitioners should treat these 2 actions as entirely separate efforts with no shared examiner or art unit trends to leverage.
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.
