Revivermx Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are being reviewed by 3 distinct examiners, resulting in a distribution where each examiner is assigned to an action. SHERMAN, STEPHEN G is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending action assigned. The prosecution activity is organized across 2 distinct art units.
Since there are distinct examiners but only 2 distinct art units, several examiners are working within the same art unit to process the pending office actions. This structure suggests a concentration of technical subject matter within the Communications field. Each distinct examiner manages a portion of the portfolio, with the busiest examiner pending count of 1 representing a balanced distribution of the pending workload. The use of art units for the actions indicates that the applications are technically related.
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.
