Sega Corporation has 5 pending office actions currently active in its patent portfolio. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for a case. The busiest examiner for the company is BODDIE, WILLIAM, who is currently handling 1 pending office action.
With 5 pending office actions and 5 distinct examiners, the company's prosecution workload is distributed among the assigned officials. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner has a disproportionate impact on the portfolio's overall progress. The company is managing five separate interactions, each with a different individual, which requires addressing the specific feedback and styles of 5 distinct examiners simultaneously. This profile indicates a diversified active prosecution effort.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
