Technology area: Computing & Software
1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Purlin Co. currently manages a patent portfolio focused on the Computing & Software technology area. The company has 1 pending office action across its entire filing history. This specific workload is distributed among 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, showing a highly centralized prosecution strategy. The data indicates that there is no fragmentation of legal efforts across different administrative divisions within the patent office at this time.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is TANK, ANDREW L, who is currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending actions is 1, this examiner handles the entirety of the company's active matters. This concentration suggests that the prosecution outcome for the current portfolio depends entirely on the interactions with this single individual. Practitioners should note the lack of diversity in examiner assignments for these Computing & Software filings, which means there are no alternative examiner perspectives to draw from within the current workload.
The involvement of 1 distinct art unit further emphasizes the narrow focus of the current active portfolio. With 1 pending office action assigned to TANK, ANDREW L, the administrative footprint is minimal. This structure allows for a very direct line of communication between the applicant and the assigned examiner, though it lacks the breadth seen in larger portfolios. The busiest examiner pending count of 1 confirms that no other officials are currently reviewing the company's applications.
