4 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 9 patents granted in the last 365 days
ThoughtSpot, Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing a diverse technical footprint within the software sector. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, which closely matches the number of art units involved. This distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's software innovations are being reviewed by multiple specialized groups within the patent office.
The busiest examiner is KIM, PAUL, who is handling 2 of the pending office actions. This means half of the company's 4 pending actions are under the review of a single individual. The remaining actions are distributed among the other 2 distinct examiners, requiring the company to manage multiple examiner preferences across 3 distinct art units. With 4 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the company must balance the specific feedback from KIM, PAUL with the requirements of the other 2 distinct examiners.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (25%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
