Midcontinent Independent System Operator Inc. (‘Miso") currently has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This portfolio of 1 pending action reflects the company's active effort to secure patent rights for its computing and software innovations. The focus on Computing & Software is the primary area of activity for its current filing within the patent office, showing a targeted approach to intellectual property.
The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. Since there is only 1 pending office action, the entire workload is concentrated within a single specialized department of the patent office. This alignment suggests that the company's current technological focus is highly specific and falls under the jurisdiction of one examination group, which simplifies the tracking of procedural requirements and examiner expectations.
LU, HUA is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1 and there is only 1 total pending office action, LU, HUA is responsible for the company's entire pending workload. This centralized structure means that the outcome of the company's current prosecution effort is entirely dependent on the review of this single examiner, allowing for a focused legal strategy.
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.
