Pcnc Co. Ltd. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This workload distribution indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different examiner in a separate specialized unit. The presence of multiple examiners suggests that the company's software portfolio is not concentrated under a single individual's review, which may lead to different examination experiences for each application.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BLAUFELD, JUSTIN R, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This concentration shows that no single examiner handles more than 1 of the 2 current pending actions for the company. For a practitioner, this distribution means that prosecution strategies may need to be tailored to the specific tendencies of different examiners rather than a single point of contact. Successfully managing the 2 pending office actions requires addressing the individual preferences of the reviewers across the specialized units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
