TidalX AI Inc. has 5 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These 5 actions are spread across 4 distinct art units, showing a level of technical diversity within the communications field. The prosecution is further distributed among 5 distinct examiners, meaning no two pending actions are being reviewed by the same person.
TRINH T NGUYEN is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 pending office action. This single action represents a portion of the total 5 pending actions in the portfolio. With 4 distinct art units involved, the company must address different sets of examination guidelines while managing the individual expectations of the 5 distinct examiners currently reviewing their applications.
The presence of 5 pending office actions across 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's communications claims are categorized into several specialized areas. Since 5 distinct examiners are involved, the company faces five unique perspectives on its patentability. Success in the Communications sector will require a tailored approach for each of the 5 pending actions.
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.
