Csaa Insurance Services Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing a lack of concentration in the current prosecution pipeline. This distribution suggests that the company is navigating different administrative groups within the USPTO simultaneously.
The busiest examiner for the company is TRAN, THANG DUC, who is currently managing 1 pending office action. With 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is split across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This variety requires a flexible prosecution strategy to address the unique feedback from the different administrative groups involved in the current workload.
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.
