TidalX AI Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. Both of these examiners work within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a consistent technical classification for the company's current filings. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit allows the company to navigate a single set of administrative guidelines while receiving feedback from 2 distinct examiners.
CHEN, SHELLEY is the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This represents one of the 2 pending office actions. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners within a single art unit means that the company's software claims are being evaluated by different sets of eyes within the same specialized group. Practitioners should coordinate responses to ensure that arguments made to CHEN, SHELLEY do not conflict with those presented to the other examiner.
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.
