Neuroblade Ltd. is managing 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, resulting in a 1 to 1 ratio where each active case is handled by a different person. This distribution requires the company to address 3 different examiner styles for its 3 pending matters. HOANG, SON T is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending action.
The 3 pending office actions are all located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a focused technical scope for the company's current active matters. With 3 distinct examiners operating in 1 art unit, the company faces different individual preferences but a consistent set of art unit standards. Since HOANG, SON T only handles 1 pending action, no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of this 1 art unit while tailoring their responses to the individual feedback of the 3 examiners involved. This concentration in 1 art unit allows for a more streamlined legal strategy across all 3 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
