Csx Transportation Inc. has 1 pending office action currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution of this portfolio is highly centralized, involving 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This singular focus suggests a very specific technological niche or a limited volume of current activity within the patent office for this entity, requiring a highly targeted prosecution approach that accounts for the specific environment of the 1 distinct art unit.
The busiest examiner identified is BROWNE, SCOTT A, who handles the 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution experience is entirely dependent on the individual practices and historical allowance rates of BROWNE, SCOTT A. This streamlined structure minimizes the complexity often found in larger portfolios that span multiple art units or involve a larger number of examiners. For the practitioner, this means that success is tied to understanding the specific preferences of the 1 examiner within the administrative unit.
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.
