Blue Tomato LLC is currently overseeing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, which prevents a concentration of the workload with any single official. The matters are also situated in 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's filings may touch upon different specialized classifications within the mechanical and transportation sectors. This distribution requires the applicant to manage two separate tracks of examination simultaneously, ensuring that arguments are tailored to the specific technical nuances of each art unit.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is SAYRE, JAMES G, who is currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions in total, this single action represents half of the company's current active prosecution. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners means that the strategies employed must be flexible enough to address the specific requirements of each official. With 1 pending office action assigned to the busiest examiner, the company maintains a balanced workload across the distinct art units involved in the review process, reducing the risk of a single point of failure.
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.
