The company patent portfolio for Assa Abloy Access And Egress Hardware Group Inc. currently features 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, WATSON, PETER HUCKLEBERRY, who is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The prosecution is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit.
For a practitioner, this data indicates a very focused interaction with the USPTO. With WATSON, PETER HUCKLEBERRY managing the 1 busiest examiner pending action, the entire pending portfolio's status is determined by this single case. The alignment of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit means there is no diversity in the examining perspectives currently being applied to the company's filings in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
This concentrated activity requires a direct focus on the specific feedback from the distinct examiner. Practitioners should note that the workload is minimal, consisting of only 1 pending office action. The lack of multiple examiners or art units simplifies the monitoring process but increases the significance of the individual examiner's decisions on the company's intellectual property goals. There are no other active cases to provide a comparative baseline for prosecution strategy.
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.
