These 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, with each examiner managing 1 case. The prosecution is focused within 1 distinct art unit. PHU VU is the busiest examiner for the company, overseeing 1 pending office action. This examiner is responsible for 1 of the 2 pending office actions currently active for BIRDSHADES INNOVATIONS GMBH.
The use of 1 distinct art unit for 2 pending office actions indicates a specific technological scope for the company's current patent filings. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit may lead to consistent examination results, as the examiners likely follow similar internal guidelines. With PHU VU and the other distinct examiner each handling 1 pending office action, the workload is divided. For practitioners, this suggests that the portfolio's success in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area is tied to a specific examination group.
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.
