Chatsworth Products Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter is being reviewed in a different administrative setting. The use of 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending office actions suggests a diverse prosecution landscape.
WALRAED-SULLIVAN, KYLE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. This action is 1 of the 2 pending office actions currently active across the 2 distinct art units for the company. The workload is evenly divided, with each of the 2 distinct examiners managing 1 pending matter in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
Each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different art unit. This requires the company to manage 2 separate lines of communication and adapt to the different procedural expectations of the 2 distinct art units involved. Practitioners should ensure that arguments remain consistent across the 2 distinct art units while addressing the specific concerns of each examiner.
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.
