Advanced Bifurcation Systems Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within its patent portfolio. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, indicating a concentrated prosecution environment. MENDEZ, KATHERINE H serves as the busiest examiner for the company, handling 2 of the pending actions.
The concentration of the workload with a single examiner suggests that MENDEZ, KATHERINE H oversees a significant portion of the company's active matters. With only 2 distinct examiners involved in the 3 pending office actions, the company faces a narrow range of examiner perspectives during this phase of prosecution.
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.
