Analysis

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated manages a portfolio of 11 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These matters are widely distributed across 11 distinct examiners and 11 distinct art units, reflecting a balanced ratio between pending actions and the personnel reviewing them. This high level of dispersion indicates that no single examiner or unit has a concentrated influence over the company's current prosecution. Practitioners must be prepared to manage these different examination styles simultaneously.

The busiest examiner, FRAZIER, BRADY W, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 11 distinct examiners for the 11 pending office actions, every examiner in the portfolio currently handles exactly 1 matter. This ensures that the company's cases are being evaluated independently by the different individuals, requiring a broad strategy to address various preferences. The involvement of 11 distinct art units further suggests that the company's Computing & Software innovations are being evaluated across a broad spectrum of USPTO technical divisions. This distribution across the 11 distinct art units requires managing multiple sets of examination trends within the same technology area.
