Zhor Tech currently manages 1 pending office action within the Computing & Software technology area. This prosecution activity is limited to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is NGUYEN, MAIKHANH, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. For practitioners, this means the company's current software-related patent strategy is entirely focused on the feedback and requirements of this single examiner.
Because there is only 1 pending action, the company's immediate success in the Computing & Software sector depends entirely on the outcome of this one case. Navigating the requirements of NGUYEN, MAIKHANH is the primary priority for the portfolio's current maintenance. This singular focus within 1 art unit simplifies the administrative tracking but increases the impact of any single examiner's decision on the overall portfolio. The company must ensure that its responses are perfectly tailored to the expectations of this specific examiner to avoid further delays. This concentrated activity reflects a narrow scope of current prosecution within the Computing & Software sector, where the resolution of this 1 pending office action will determine the company's near-term patent position.
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.
