Steamroller Systems Inc. is currently managing 1 pending office action within the Computing & Software technology area. This activity is distributed across 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. Such a focused prosecution profile is typical for companies pursuing specific software-related intellectual property protections, where the technical subject matter is often confined to a single specialized art unit.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is BEAU D SPRATT, who is handling 1 pending office action. Since the company only has 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the progress of this single application is the primary indicator of its current prosecution status. The 1 pending office action in Computing & Software will be subject to the specific examination standards of the 1 distinct art unit involved. Practitioners should note that with only 1 distinct examiner, the company lacks internal comparative data to gauge whether its prosecution experience is typical for the broader Computing & Software technology area.
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.
