Opal AI Inc. has 2 pending office actions in its patent portfolio. These matters are situated within the Computing & Software technology area and are both located in 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a focused technical area for the company's current patenting efforts.
The prosecution is divided between 2 distinct examiners. JWALANT B AMIN is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. This indicates that the 2 pending actions are split equally between the 2 examiners assigned to the company's portfolio. Even though both cases are in the same art unit, the company must navigate the individual perspectives of 2 different examiners. This split workload requires a prosecution strategy that ensures consistency across the 2 pending matters while addressing the specific feedback from each of the 2 examiners involved.
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.

"Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
