1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Asfinag Mautservice GmbH is currently managing 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located within a single distinct art unit. This indicates a highly concentrated prosecution profile where all active patent office interaction is limited to a single technical and administrative point of contact. Such a focused portfolio allows for a very specific and targeted response strategy.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is HILGENDORF, DALE W, who is responsible for the pending office action. Since there is only 1 pending action in the entire portfolio, this examiner handles the company's entire current office action workload. For the practitioner, this means that the success of the current prosecution phase depends entirely on navigating the specific requirements of the art unit and the individual examiner assigned to the case. There is no need to coordinate between different examiners, simplifying the overall management of the company's assets.
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.
