Phase Sensitive Innovations Inc. currently manages 4 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, with each examiner handling 1 matter. All of these pending actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, which centralizes the technical review of the company's communications-related patent applications.
The busiest examiner, BELLO, AGUSTIN, is assigned to 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, no 1 examiner dominates the portfolio. The most significant aspect of this data is the concentration of all 4 pending office actions within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's innovations are being evaluated under a consistent set of technical guidelines and administrative practices. Practitioners should focus on mastering the specific requirements of this 1 art unit while also being mindful of the individual nuances of the 4 different examiners. The shared art unit environment may allow for more predictable outcomes across the 4 pending office actions compared to a more dispersed portfolio.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
