Mitac Digital Technology Corporation has 2 pending office actions in its current patent portfolio. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, providing a split in the review process. MILIA, MARK R is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
The data shows 0 distinct art units for these pending actions, which may indicate that the applications are in a transitional phase. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the company is dealing with a balanced ratio of matters to examiners. This ensures that the prosecution of one application does not directly impact the timeline of the other through examiner workload.
Practitioners should prepare for a distributed review process where each matter is handled by a different individual. The 2 distinct examiners provide a variety of feedback for the portfolio's active applications despite the absence of multiple art units.
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.
