Trans Union LLC currently has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This single matter is being handled within 1 distinct art unit by 1 distinct examiner. Dawaune A Conyers is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending action. The concentration of the workload under a single examiner reflects a very specific and limited current prosecution footprint.
Practitioners can focus their efforts on the specific requirements of the Computing & Software area as interpreted by Dawaune A Conyers. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the outcome of this single case will define the company's current success rate in this technology area. The use of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company is not currently seeking broad protection across different software sectors. This centralized prosecution model simplifies the management of the portfolio but increases the importance of the relationship with the assigned 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.
