Acr Ii Glass America Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, including CASTIAUX, BRENT D. The workload is spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating that each pending action is being reviewed by a different technical group. CASTIAUX, BRENT D is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, which represents half of the company's current pending workload.
This portfolio shows a dispersion of cases across both examiners and art units. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, no single individual handles more than one case except for the busiest examiner designation. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the communications innovations are being evaluated by separate specialized groups. Practitioners should prepare for unique prosecution styles in each case, as the 1 pending action under CASTIAUX, BRENT D is the only one assigned to him.
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.
