Dual Strategies LLC currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's current prosecution activity is concentrated in one specific area of the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is MACKEY, PATRICK HEWEY, who is handling 1 pending office action. As there is only a single pending office action in total, this examiner is responsible for all current active matters for the company. This concentration allows for a prosecution strategy that is entirely focused on the requirements of this single examiner and the 1 distinct art unit involved.
With the current pending office action, the company's administrative needs are limited to this one matter. The focus on 1 distinct examiner means that the company does not need to manage different examiner styles or varying art unit procedures at this time. The outcome of this 1 pending office action will be the primary indicator of the company's current success in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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.
