Alumission Inc. is active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company has 1 pending office action currently under review. This workload is handled by 1 distinct examiner, which indicates that the pending office action count matches the number of examiners involved in the company's prosecution. This concentration of work indicates that the company's current patent office interaction is limited to this specific matter.
The prosecution activity is situated within 1 distinct art unit. FERGUSON, MICHAEL P is the busiest examiner for the company and is currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending actions is 1, FERGUSON, MICHAEL P is responsible for all of the company's current examiner-level engagement. This means the outcome of the portfolio's current prosecution depends on the decisions of this individual within the specified art unit. The prosecution outcome is linked to the individual review of FERGUSON, MICHAEL P for these systems.
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.
