AB Consulting S A S Di Andrea Bracciali & C currently manages 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. ROBERT J MCCARRY JR is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. The presence of only this pending action means that the company's current prosecution activity is focused on a single examiner and a single art unit.
This indicates the patenting effort within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. The data shows no distribution across different examiners or art units at this time. For this portfolio, the pending office action represents the entirety of the active workload. Practitioners managing this portfolio interact with a distinct examiner, which affects the coordination of responses. The focus on a distinct art unit suggests the technology is specialized within the broader Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area. This centralized structure can be advantageous for maintaining a consistent prosecution strategy.
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.
