Checkpoint Systems Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the technology area of Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This 1 to 1 ratio of actions to examiners and art units suggests that each pending matter is being handled by a unique set of USPTO personnel. This distribution prevents any single examiner from having a dominant influence over the company's current patenting strategy.
HOROWITZ, NOAH NMN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action under review. Since there are only 2 pending office actions in total, no single examiner or art unit dominates the current prosecution landscape. This distribution requires the applicant to interface with multiple examiners despite the small number of active cases. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the 2 pending actions likely involve different technical sub-specialties within the broader Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
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.
