Parallels International GmbH currently has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This prosecution activity involves a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. Melissa A Headly is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, handling the 1 pending office action. The company's current patent office interactions are limited to this single examiner.
With 1 pending office action, the company's immediate prosecution workload is concentrated. The assignment to Melissa A Headly in a distinct art unit means that the entire prosecution experience is shaped by this examiner's interpretation of the Computing & Software field. This lack of examiner diversity means that the company does not have multiple points of feedback from the patent office. Parallels International GmbH must carefully manage its interaction with Melissa A Headly to ensure a favorable outcome for the pending office action.
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.
