Safe Health Systems Inc. manages a patent portfolio in the Communications technology area. The data indicates 3 pending office actions are currently in progress. This volume suggests a moderate and active engagement with the patent office regarding their communications-related intellectual property.
The prosecution of these applications is distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This ratio means that each of the 3 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual in a different specialized division. Such a spread indicates that the company's technology is multidisciplinary and requires evaluation by 3 distinct art units, each with its own technical standards.
VAZ, JANICE EZVI is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since the 3 pending office actions are split evenly among 3 distinct examiners, no single official dominates the prosecution workload. Practitioners must therefore adapt their approach to the specific requirements of 3 distinct examiners to successfully advance these applications in the Communications sector.
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.
