Mitac Computing Technology Corporation currently manages 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending application is under the review of a different person. The workload is spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's software-related filings are being processed by different specialized departments.
FAHMIDA RAHMAN is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. With pending office actions and distinct examiners, the workload is distributed, with no individual examiner handling the majority of the cases. This lack of concentration means that the company's prosecution success is not overly dependent on the decisions of any single examiner.
The use of 2 distinct art units for the pending actions suggests some technical overlap or proximity in the subject matter being prosecuted. Practitioners should be prepared to manage different examination styles across the distinct examiners. Successfully resolving these pending office actions will require a coordinated effort that addresses the specific technical concerns of the art units involved in the Computing & Software space.
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.
