Dispension Industries Incorporated is currently responding to 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This activity is confined to a distinct art unit and a distinct examiner. KATHLEEN YUAN DULANEY is the busiest examiner for the company, overseeing the 1 pending action currently active.
The presence of only a distinct examiner suggests that the company's immediate prosecution success depends entirely on the interactions with KATHLEEN YUAN DULANEY at the office. With a distinct art unit involved, the portfolio demonstrates a singular technical focus in its current patenting efforts within the Communications field. Applicants should prepare for a highly specific examination process, as the work is not diversified across different examiners or technical departments. This concentration within the Communications area highlights the importance of a consistent response strategy tailored to the specific examiner assigned to the case.
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.
