Davinci Lock LLC has 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct art unit and is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner. The examiner, GARCIA, CARLOS E, is responsible for this 1 pending action, which constitutes the entirety of the company's current prosecution activity. Having only 1 pending office action in 1 distinct art unit suggests a highly specific and singular focus for the company's current patent efforts. Practitioners should note that the prosecution strategy is entirely dependent on the standards of this single art unit.
Because the workload is limited to 1 distinct examiner, the outcome of the company's current prosecution depends on the review of GARCIA, CARLOS E. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit means the company is not currently navigating the diverse examination standards of multiple patent office divisions. Practitioners can focus their strategy on the specific requirements of this 1 distinct examiner and the 1 distinct art unit involved. The presence of only 1 pending office action indicates a streamlined prosecution profile for Davinci Lock LLC at this time. This lack of examiner diversity means that the company's patent success is currently tied to a single point of review.
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.
