Allen Medical Systems Inc. has 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are spread across 4 distinct examiners. Prosecution activity is divided among 3 distinct art units. SANTOS, ROBERT G is the busiest examiner, though he is only responsible for 1 pending office action at this time.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
