Aegis Sortation LLC currently has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners but are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a concentration of technical subject matter despite the involvement of multiple examiners.
AWAIS, MUHAMMAD SUMRAIZ is an examiner involved, currently holding 1 pending office action. While the art unit is consistent, the 2 distinct examiners may bring varying perspectives to the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems portfolio. Practitioners should prepare for distinct examination styles within the 1 single technical group.
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.
