Technology area: Computing & Software
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Siemens Industry Software GmbH has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The workload is distributed such that no single examiner or art unit is handling more than 1 action. The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates that the software technologies being patented fall into different classification categories. This distribution suggests that the company is pursuing diverse technical paths within the computing sector. The administrative path is defined by these 2 separate units, which affects prosecution timelines.
ARYAN D TOUGHIRY is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners and 2 pending office actions, the prosecution effort is divided equally. For the applicant, this means that understanding the specific tendencies of the assigned examiners is a factor for success. The limited scope of 1 pending office action per examiner simplifies the management of the current portfolio. This approach ensures that feedback is filtered through specific professional perspectives across the 2 distinct art units. The consistency in examiner communication is maintained within each of the 2 distinct administrative paths.
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.
