Sococo LLC has 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing that each pending matter resides in a different specialized division of the USPTO. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, resulting in a one-to-one ratio between examiners and pending actions.
MADAMBA, GLENFORD J is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending action. Because there are 3 pending office actions and a matching number of distinct examiners, every examiner is equally busy with exactly one case. This distribution prevents the development of a centralized prosecution history with any single individual at this time.
The small scale of 3 pending office actions across 3 distinct art units suggests a highly targeted patent strategy. Practitioners must address the specific requirements of several different examiners, as the various art units likely have varying interpretations of software patentability. The diversity of examiners relative to the small number of actions means each case will likely proceed on its own merits without significant cross-case influence from MADAMBA, GLENFORD J.
