Snu R&DB Foundation maintains 4 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing a focused yet slightly distributed technical footprint. The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, which means each pending office action is assigned to a different individual.
SHARIFI-TAFRESHI, KOOSHA is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This matches the workload of the other distinct examiners involved in the foundation's pending actions. The parity between the number of 4 pending office actions and the number of 4 distinct examiners suggests a lack of examiner concentration.
With 3 distinct art units represented, the portfolio requires attention to a small variety of procedural environments within the Communications sector. The presence of 4 distinct examiners indicates that no single examiner has a dominant influence over the current pending portfolio. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the specific tendencies of each individual examiner. The workload of SHARIFI-TAFRESHI, KOOSHA represents a limited portion of the overall prosecution effort.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
