Monotype Imaging Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. BITOR, RENAE ALLYN is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. The portfolio current activity is divided between 2 different examiners and 2 different art units.
Each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed independently in a separate specialized group at the USPTO. Because the busiest examiner, BITOR, RENAE ALLYN, only has 1 action, there is no concentration of workload. The prosecution strategy must account for the unique requirements of 2 different art units and the individual styles of 2 different examiners in the communications field. Practitioners must manage 2 separate relationships and sets of examiner preferences across the 2 distinct art units.
The lack of concentration under BITOR, RENAE ALLYN means that no single examiner habits will dictate the outcome of the entire portfolio. Strategy should be focused on the individual requirements of each art unit within the Communications area. The 2 pending office actions represent a set of challenges across the USPTO. Each application requires a unique approach tailored to the specific examiner and the technical standards of their respective art unit. The outcome of the 2 pending office actions will impact the company intellectual property standing.
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.
