On24 Inc. currently has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This matter is assigned to a distinct examiner, TILLERY, RASHAWN N, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. The portfolio is active in a distinct art unit. Since there is only a single pending action, the prosecution profile is highly concentrated. Success in this technology area will depend on the specific examiner's approach to software-related patentability and the functional requirements of the assigned art unit.
The presence of a pending office action in the computing sector indicates a focused prosecution environment. Because the portfolio is limited to a single distinct examiner and a single distinct art unit, there is no internal baseline for comparing examiner behavior. Success for On24 Inc. depends on navigating the specific requirements of TILLERY, RASHAWN N. This concentration under a single point of review simplifies administrative tracking but increases the impact of any single procedural hurdle.
In the Computing & Software field, where examination can be subject to evolving legal standards, having a distinct art unit involved suggests a consistent application of subject matter rules. However, the reliance on a distinct examiner means that the company's patent trajectory is currently subject to a single perspective. Practitioners should focus on the historical allowance rates and common rejection types associated with the examiner to optimize their response strategy for the pending office action.
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.
