2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Samasource Impact Sourcing Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are located within 1 distinct art unit. SATCHER, DION JOHN is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This arrangement shows that while multiple examiners are involved, the technical review is centralized in 1 art unit at the patent office.
The presence of 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending office actions means that the applicant will receive feedback from 2 different individuals. However, since they both operate within 1 distinct art unit, the underlying technical guidelines and prior art searches are likely to be similar. Practitioners should be prepared to address the specific preferences of SATCHER, DION JOHN while also managing the other examiner's requirements. This structure provides a balance between examiner variety and technical consistency. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit simplifies the technical landscape for the company's communications-related intellectual property.
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.
