Smartac Com Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. RAYMOND NGAN PHAN is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending action. The existence of 3 pending actions indicates a focused prosecution effort in the software sector.
The distribution of 3 actions across 3 distinct examiners means that each case is receiving an independent review. With 3 distinct art units involved, there is no technical concentration in the company's current filings, as each action falls into a different category. RAYMOND NGAN PHAN's 1 pending action is part of this small but highly diversified portfolio. This structure, where 3 examiners work in 3 different art units, ensures that the company receives a variety of perspectives on its technology within the Computing & Software 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
