1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Bds Consulting LLC is currently managing 1 pending office action, 1 distinct examiner, and 1 distinct art unit within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action being reviewed by a single official ensures that the prosecution is handled by a point of contact at the patent office. The application is situated within this 1 distinct art unit, which suggests the technical subject matter falls under a specific mechanical systems classification. This narrow scope allows the applicant to focus resources on a single set of examiner requirements.
The busiest examiner assigned to the portfolio is MCGOWAN, JAMIE LOUISE, who is responsible for 1 pending action. As there is only 1 pending office action in total, this examiner's work covers the company's entire active patent prosecution presence. The alignment of 1 distinct art unit with 1 distinct examiner indicates a concentrated and direct examination process. This arrangement simplifies the administrative burden of tracking communications. The applicant can tailor their arguments specifically to the preferences of MCGOWAN, JAMIE LOUISE and the standards of the assigned art unit.
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.
