Optoma Corporation currently has 4 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is under the review of a different official. The portfolio is also spread across 4 distinct art units, reflecting a variety of technical focuses within the computing sector. This distribution requires the applicant to manage 4 separate prosecution timelines simultaneously.
The busiest examiner, MUHEBBULLAH, SAJEDA, is managing 1 pending office action. This accounts for one-fourth of the 4 pending office actions in the total portfolio. With 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, the prosecution strategy must be tailored to the specific expectations of 4 different USPTO divisions. There is no concentration of workload that would allow for a unified negotiation with a single examiner.
The presence of 4 pending office actions across 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's computing and software innovations are technically diverse. Practitioners should prepare for 4 unique sets of prior art and procedural rejections. Because each of the 4 distinct examiners is handling only 1 case, the applicant must establish rapport with 4 different individuals to advance the 4 pending office actions currently in the queue. This structure necessitates a flexible and broad-based approach to USPTO communications.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
