Armor has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These cases are distributed among 2 distinct examiners but are contained within a distinct art unit. Eric Wayne Golightly serves as the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 pending office action. Because the pending actions are in 1 art unit, the legal team can expect consistent application of art unit policies despite the involvement of different examiners.

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.
