The company patent portfolio for Booking Com B V is currently focused within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. There is 1 pending office action across the entire portfolio, which is being handled by a distinct examiner. This indicates a narrow distribution of active matters at the present time. The workload is situated within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a specific technical focus for the pending application.
SULLIVAN, THOMAS J is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. For a practitioner, this means that the immediate prosecution success for the portfolio depends entirely on the interactions with this specific individual. The concentration in a distinct art unit simplifies the monitoring process but increases the impact of that individual examiner's specific tendencies on the portfolio's overall progress. The presence of a distinct examiner means that the outcome of the current pending action will define the immediate status of the company's active patent filings.
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.
