Aadg Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, KELLY, CATHERINE A, who is also identified as the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. Because there is only 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution strategy is highly concentrated.
The presence of the pending office action with KELLY, CATHERINE A indicates that this examiner handles the entirety of the current workload for the company. This concentration suggests that the outcome of the portfolio's current activity depends entirely on the interactions with this specific individual and art unit. Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences of the assigned examiner, as there are no other examiners or art units to provide a broader context for the portfolio's performance.
The alignment of the workload across the distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit reflects a very narrow prosecution footprint at this time.
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.
