Analysis

MongoDB Inc. has 9 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 7 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. The 5 distinct art units suggest that the company's Computing & Software filings are technically diverse. With 7 distinct examiners for 9 pending office actions, most matters are being reviewed by different individuals, though there is some concentration within the portfolio.

BRADLEY W HOLDER is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 2 pending office actions. The other 9 pending office actions are distributed among the remaining 7 distinct examiners. Managing 9 pending office actions across 5 distinct art units requires the company to address several different technical standards and examiner perspectives within the Computing & Software field. The concentration of 2 pending office actions under BRADLEY W HOLDER provides a minor opportunity for a more unified prosecution strategy for those specific matters.
