Phil Rivers Technology Ltd. holds a company patent portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area. The portfolio currently has 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The busiest examiner is HONORE, EVEL NMN, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
For a practitioner, this distribution across 2 distinct art units suggests that the Computing & Software technologies being patented may span different sub-specialties. The workload is not concentrated in a single office, as the 2 pending office actions are split among 2 distinct examiners. This structure requires managing multiple examiner relationships simultaneously. The diversity in examiners and art units provides a broader base for the company's current prosecution efforts. Practitioners must coordinate strategies across the 2 distinct art units to maintain consistency in the portfolio. The presence of 2 distinct examiners suggests a decentralized review process.
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.
