Clarified Waters LLC currently has 1 pending office action. This active matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, MENON, KRISHNAN S, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action on record. This examiner's workload represents the entirety of the company's current pending actions at the patent office, reflecting a singular point of contact for the portfolio's active prosecution. The presence of only 1 pending action suggests a very focused or early-stage interaction with the examination process.
The data shows that 0 distinct art units are currently associated with this portfolio's pending activity. This indicates a highly concentrated or specialized prosecution status where the company is interacting with a single examiner for its active filing, without the involvement of a broader administrative unit structure at this time. This focused activity requires the company to address the specific technical expertise and procedural preferences of the assigned examiner to move the pending matter toward a resolution.
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.
