70 Main Street Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Communications technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and a single art unit. The distribution of the pending office action across the examiner suggests a specific prosecution effort rather than a portfolio strategy spanning multiple technical domains. This structure allows for a specialized approach to the specific requirements of the Communications field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is WU, ZHEN Y, who is responsible for a busiest examiner pending action. This individual handles the entirety of the company's current workload at the patent office. Because the prosecution involves only a distinct examiner, the outcome of the company's current efforts depends on the interactions with this specific official. Practitioners can focus their strategy on the specific preferences of this examiner and the art unit. This structure defines the company's current engagement with the patent office.
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.
