Sorenson IP Holdings LLC is currently managing 4 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and the distinct art units. This equal number of pending actions, examiners, and art units indicates a highly diversified prosecution landscape where each application is being reviewed independently. Such a structure prevents any single examiner from having a disproportionate impact on the overall portfolio.
EL-ZOOBI, MARIA is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, though she is currently handling only 1 of the pending office actions. Because each of the pending office actions is in a different art unit, the company must navigate separate sets of technical guidelines. This distribution requires the company to manage the distinct examiners simultaneously without any overlap in personnel or art unit expertise. Practitioners must be prepared to address different sets of examiner expectations to advance these applications.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (50%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (25%) |
