MFTB Holdco Inc. maintains a patent portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area with 6 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct art units. The prosecution workload is spread among 6 distinct examiners, showing a high degree of individual attention per application. This distribution suggests that the company is navigating various technical standards and procedural expectations at the patent office.
LI, GRACE Q is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, though she currently handles only 1 pending office action. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner dominates the company's current legal challenges. Because every action is reviewed by a different person, practitioners must be prepared for varied examination styles. The presence of the art units further emphasizes the need for a prosecution strategy that can address the specific requirements of multiple specialized groups. Successfully managing these pending office actions requires a detailed understanding of the 5 distinct art units involved.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (33%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
