Desprez LLC currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct examiners. This distribution means that each examiner is handling a single matter for the company.
The portfolio's current activity is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that all pending office actions are located in the same art unit despite being handled by multiple distinct examiners. NATHAN L LAUGHLIN is identified as the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit for the pending office actions suggests a focused technical landscape. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the specific requirements of the different examiners within that single art unit. The single pending office action under NATHAN L LAUGHLIN represents a portion of the total 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |

| §101 + other | 2 (67%) |
