Analysis

Teradata US Inc. has 5 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 5 pending actions are spread across 5 distinct art units and 5 distinct examiners. PHILLIPS, III, ALBERT M is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that every current prosecution matter for the company is being handled by a different examiner in a unique art unit.

The involvement of 5 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units indicates a highly decentralized prosecution environment. For practitioners, this means that the outcome of each of the 5 pending office actions will depend on the specific standards of the individual examiner, such as PHILLIPS, III, ALBERT M. There is no concentration of cases that would allow for a unified negotiation strategy with a single department. Instead, the Computing & Software portfolio requires a multi-faceted approach that accounts for the diverse examination cultures present across all 5 distinct art units.
