Strong Force Lot Portfolio 2016 LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. The portfolio's activity is split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. Chun Cao is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action.
This distribution shows that the company's software-related prosecution is currently divided across different examination groups. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations cover a variety of computing applications. Because the workload is split between 2 examiners, there is no single primary point of contact for the pending matters. This distribution may require the application of different prosecution tactics depending on the specific art unit involved. The current data highlights a diverse set of filings within the Computing & Software sector. Practitioners should be prepared for varying examiner tendencies across these 2 distinct art units, which could impact the overall speed of patent acquisition.
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.
