Story LLP Software Inc. currently manages a focused patent portfolio within the Communications technology area. The data shows 1 pending office action across the entire portfolio. This single pending action is handled by 1 distinct examiner, indicating a highly concentrated prosecution effort at this stage.
The prosecution activity is limited to 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's current filings. FANG-WU, JOHN HONG is identified as the busiest examiner for the company. This individual is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. The alignment between the total pending workload and the responsibility of this specific examiner suggests that all current patent office interactions are centralized.
Practitioners should note that the portfolio's current activity is confined to a single point of contact. This concentration in the Communications sector allows for a very specific prosecution strategy. With only one person reviewing the company's work, the immediate legal focus is narrow. The presence of the single art unit further confirms that the company's current patent efforts are not spread across different administrative divisions.
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.
