Casana Care Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, each handling 1 action. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is being evaluated by 2 different specialized groups. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the company must navigate 2 separate sets of examiner expectations.
BARR, MARY EVANGELINE is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending action. The 2 distinct art units further diversify the prosecution landscape for these 2 pending office actions. This distribution requires a tailored approach for each of the 2 distinct examiners across the 2 distinct art units. Each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different person, which may lead to different outcomes. Practitioners should coordinate their efforts to ensure that the 2 distinct examiners receive consistent technical information. The 1 pending action per examiner distribution highlights the decentralized nature of these 2 pending office actions.
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.
