Minware Inc.’s portfolio is directed to Computing & Software and has 2 pending office actions. Those matters are assigned across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating that the prosecution record is distributed rather than concentrated in one examination channel. Counsel should therefore track each action separately and avoid assuming that one response strategy will address both matters.
SLACHTA, DOUGLAS M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The examiner’s workload represents part of the pending record, while the other action is associated with a different examiner and art unit. Practically, the portfolio calls for coordinated docket control, claim mapping by application, and response positions tailored to each computing and software examination context.
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 | 1 (50%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
