1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Colby De Zen maintains a patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently includes 1 pending office action. This 1 action is handled by 1 distinct examiner, which simplifies the current communication and negotiation process with the patent office. A focused point of contact allows for a more direct prosecution strategy during this phase of development.
The prosecution activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the current legal challenges are focused on a specific technical domain within the broader transportation and mechanical systems sector. Practitioners can concentrate their efforts on the specific guidelines of this 1 unit, ensuring that all responses are tailored to the particular expectations of that administrative group.
WALRAED-SULLIVAN, KYLE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. This examiner is responsible for the only pending matter currently active for the company. The progress of the portfolio's prosecution is therefore tied to the resolution of this specific examiner's review. The fact that the busiest examiner has 1 pending action shows that there is no secondary workload currently pending with other examiners.
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.
