Standard Cognition Corp. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, resulting in a unique examiner for the pending matters. Despite this examiner variety, the work is contained within 2 distinct art units. This suggests that while the technical focus is within 2 units, the specific applications are being reviewed by the distinct examiners.
HOLDER, ANNER N is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, though they only have 1 pending office action. This figure matches the 1 pending action held by each of the other distinct examiners. The prosecution landscape for the pending office actions is distributed, as no examiner manages more than the individual cases at this time. Consequently, the applicant must tailor their approach to the different examiners across the 2 distinct art units to ensure consistent results across the portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
