Oxford Ionics Limited has one pending office action in Computing & Software. One examiner and one art unit are associated with the matter. KEATON, SHERROD L is the busiest examiner, with one pending matter, making the identified prosecution activity fully concentrated in that examination relationship.
The profile supports a focused response to the active action, with attention to the assigned art unit and the examiner’s treatment of the software or computing claims. No parallel examiner assignments appear in the available data. Counsel can therefore prioritize a precise technical explanation and claim strategy for the single active matter.
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.
