Ambient Biosciences Inc. currently has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, SETH RICHARD BROWN. As the only examiner involved, BROWN is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. This indicates a singular point of contact at the USPTO for the company's current pending matters.
The prosecution is taking place within 1 distinct art unit. This means that the company's current patent activity is focused on one specific technical specialty. With only 1 pending action and 1 distinct examiner, the success of the company's current patent efforts depends entirely on the review and requirements of SETH RICHARD BROWN within that single art unit.
For a practitioner, this profile represents a very narrow and focused presence. The outcome of the 1 pending office action will be determined by the standards of the 1 distinct art unit and the individual perspective of SETH RICHARD BROWN. There is no opportunity to compare this case with others in the portfolio, as this is the only pending matter currently being prosecuted by the company.
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.
