May Patents Ltd. is currently managing 8 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. This portfolio of 8 pending actions indicates an active pursuit of patent protection for its communications-related innovations. The company's focus on the Communications sector is the primary driver of its current prosecution activity, reflecting its commitment to securing rights in a competitive technological field.
The applications are being reviewed by 5 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. With 8 pending office actions and 5 distinct examiners, several examiners are responsible for more than one case. The involvement of only 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is concentrated within a few specific areas of the patent office's communications divisions, which can help in maintaining a unified legal approach across the 8 total pending office actions.
ALAM, MIRZA F is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 4 busiest examiner pending actions. This means that ALAM, MIRZA F is handling a significant share of the 8 total pending office actions. This concentration of the workload with one of the 5 distinct examiners makes this individual a key figure in the company's overall patent strategy, as the outcome of many cases depends on this examiner's review.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (50%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
