Robomind Inc. manages a company patent portfolio within the Computing & Software technology area. The portfolio currently contains 1 pending office action. This 1 pending office action represents the entirety of the current administrative workload for the portfolio. Practitioners should note that the prosecution effort is concentrated on this specific filing at this time.
The prosecution involves 1 distinct examiner, KEATON, SHERROD L, who is also designated as the busiest examiner. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner involved, the company's current interactions with the patent office are highly centralized. This allows for a focus on the specific examination style and requirements of this individual.
All current activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit within the Computing & Software sector. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the pending technology is focused within a specific technical niche. For the practitioner, this means that the prosecution strategy does not need to account for multiple art unit standards or diverse examiner perspectives while managing the 1 pending office action.
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.
