UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY SYDNEY is navigating 1 pending office action within the Computing & Software technology area. This single active matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, ensuring a focused prosecution environment. The administrative scope is similarly limited, with the activity occurring in 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that the university's current patent engagement is focused on a specific software innovation.
ALSHACK, OSMAN M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 pending office action in the entire portfolio, this examiner handles the totality of the active cases. The involvement of only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit indicates that the university's immediate patent trajectory is defined by this single point of contact. Practitioners should prioritize the relationship with ALSHACK, OSMAN M to move the application forward.
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.
