Sigmasense LLC currently faces 5 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is currently handling exactly one action for the company. This one-to-one ratio between actions and examiners suggests a broad spread of the portfolio across different individual perspectives at the office.
The company's work is concentrated in 2 distinct art units. NGUYEN, KHAI M is the busiest examiner, although they only hold 1 pending office action. This matches the count held by every other examiner involved in the 5 pending office actions, reflecting a perfectly even distribution of the workload across the 5 distinct examiners.
For practitioners, the involvement of 5 distinct examiners across only 2 distinct art units indicates that while the technical scope is relatively narrow, the subjective interpretation of the 5 pending office actions may vary. Strategy should focus on the specific preferences of these 5 distinct examiners to navigate the Computing & Software requirements effectively. Consistency across the 2 distinct art units will be key to managing these diverse examiner interactions.
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.
