Virtualz Computing Corporation has 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 2 pending office actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is under the review of a different official. This lack of examiner overlap requires the company to manage 2 unique relationships for the 2 pending office actions.
The prosecution is concentrated in 1 distinct art unit. FARLEY J ABAD is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. This suggests that while the current filings are technically focused within 1 distinct art unit, they are being handled by 2 distinct examiners. For practitioners, this situation requires a consistent technical argument within that 1 distinct art unit, while adapting the procedural approach to the 2 distinct examiners. The fact that both of the 2 pending office actions are in the same art unit means that unit standards will be consistent, but examiner preferences will vary.
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.
