3D Company GmbH currently maintains 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, PATRICK BERNAS PONCIANO. As the busiest examiner for the applicant, PONCIANO is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action, representing the full scope of the company's active USPTO engagement. This singular focus requires the applicant to be responsive to the specific feedback and examination style provided by this examiner.
The prosecution is confined to 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a specialized focus within the mechanical systems field. Because the entire pending portfolio rests with one examiner, the applicant's success depends on addressing the specific requirements of PONCIANO. This allows for a highly targeted prosecution strategy that focuses on the particular precedents and examination habits prevalent in this single art unit. The lack of multiple pending actions means that the outcome of this 1 distinct art unit case is critical for the company's current patent goals, necessitating a thorough and precise response to the pending office action.
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.
