Celligence International LLC has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 3 actions is assigned to a different examiner, resulting in 3 distinct examiners for the portfolio. The actions are also spread across 3 distinct art units, meaning every pending matter is being reviewed in a different technical division.
Brendan S O'Shea is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This 1 to 1 ratio of actions to examiners and art units shows a diversified but small-scale prosecution profile. For practitioners, the 3 pending office actions require 3 separate examiner relationships and 3 different technical approaches. The 3 distinct art units and 3 distinct examiners for only 3 actions highlight a lack of concentration in the company's current prosecution efforts, necessitating a unique strategy for each filing.
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.
