1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Product Science Inc. maintains a focused patent portfolio within the Computing & Software technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action across its active filings. This workload is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, indicating a concentrated prosecution environment. The presence of a single art unit suggests that the company's current intellectual property efforts are confined to a specific technical niche within the Computing & Software sector.
UNG, LANNY N, who is currently handling 1 pending office action, is the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This individual represents the entirety of the company's current pending interactions with the patent office. Practitioners can expect a streamlined communication channel given the lack of diversity in art units and examiners assigned to these matters. Because UNG, LANNY N is the only examiner involved, the prosecution strategy for the portfolio is currently dependent on the specific tendencies of this individual.
The portfolio shows a low volume of active negotiation with the patent office. The alignment of a single examiner and art unit for the current matter ensures that all legal correspondence is centralized. This centralization may allow for a more consistent approach to patent prosecution compared to portfolios spread across multiple examiners or art units.
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.
