Aim Intelligent Machines Inc. is currently managing 1 pending office action. This action falls within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution involves 1 distinct examiner, HARVEY II, KEVIN JEROME, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action as the company's busiest examiner. Additionally, the portfolio's active matter is situated within 1 distinct art unit.
The presence of 1 pending office action indicates a focused or early-stage prosecution effort. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the company's current interactions with the patent office are centralized. This concentration within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area suggests a specific technical focus for the pending application. Practitioners can observe that the workload is not distributed, as HARVEY II, KEVIN JEROME handles the entirety of the company's current pending actions, necessitating a direct and singular focus on this examiner's specific requirements.
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.
