Myscript is currently managing 5 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These 5 pending office actions are assigned to distinct examiners, which indicates that every pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This degree of examiner diversity can lead to a variety of examination styles and outcomes across the portfolio. The 5 pending office actions define the current scope of the company's interaction with the office.
The prosecution involves 2 distinct art units, which suggests some level of technological clustering despite the number of examiners. VU, KIEU D is the busiest examiner and is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the workload is distributed, practitioners should be prepared to navigate the 2 distinct art units while addressing the individual requirements of the distinct examiners involved.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (60%) |
