Orca Computing Limited is managing 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual in a different technical group. The use of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology spans different specialized classifications within the office. Prosecution strategy must account for the distinct requirements of these 2 separate examiners and their respective art units within the Computing & Software sector.
CADY, MATTHEW ALAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for 1 case. This distribution means that no single examiner dominates the company's current prosecution landscape. Practitioners should develop tailored approaches for both distinct examiners to ensure consistent progress across the portfolio. The outcome of each action is independent, given the involvement of 2 distinct art units and 2 distinct examiners.
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.
