Optalysys Limited currently has 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These 2 pending office actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, providing separate points of contact for the company's pending matters. Both of these examiners are situated within 1 distinct art unit, which points to a very specific technical focus for the company's current computing innovations.
LEONIDAS BOUTSIKARIS is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly distributed between them. The concentration of all prosecution activity within 1 distinct art unit means that both pending applications are being evaluated under the same departmental standards and by examiners who likely share the same technical expertise.
For a patent practitioner, the presence of 2 distinct examiners in 1 distinct art unit offers an opportunity to see how different individuals within the same department handle the company's technology. Because LEONIDAS BOUTSIKARIS and the other examiner each have 1 pending office action, neither individual has a dominant role in the portfolio. However, the reliance on a single art unit for all 2 pending office actions means that the company's success is highly dependent on the specific precedents of that one division.
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.
