Bci Steel LLC currently has 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, MERSHON, JAYNE L. This indicates a focus for the company's current patent prosecution, as all pending activity is concentrated under the review of MERSHON, JAYNE L. The pending office action is the only current matter requiring a response from the applicant.
The prosecution is further limited to a distinct art unit. Having a distinct art unit and examiner means that the company's immediate patent strategy is subject to the specific interpretations and timelines of a specific office division. This lack of distribution across multiple examiners or art units simplifies the communication process but also means the company is dependent on the individual examiner's approach to the pending office action.
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.
