Black Diamond Creations LLC is currently navigating 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This activity is localized within 1 distinct art unit and managed by 1 distinct examiner. Such a concentrated profile indicates a specific technical focus for the company's intellectual property efforts. The company's reliance on a single examiner and art unit suggests a very narrow technical focus for its current intellectual property development.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BALLER, KELSEY E, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This single action represents the entirety of the company's current pending workload. Success in this 1 pending office action depends entirely on addressing the specific concerns raised by this individual examiner within the identified technology area. The company's immediate patent goals are tied to this single prosecution path.
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.
