Emerging Automotive LLC manages a company patent portfolio in the Networking & Security technology area, currently consisting of 3 pending office actions. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, indicating that one examiner is handling multiple matters. The prosecution is also divided across 2 distinct art units, providing a degree of technical variety in the examination process.
BRUSHABER, FREDERICK M is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. These 2 actions represent a majority of the 3 total pending office actions for the company. The remaining action is handled by the other distinct examiner, making the influence of BRUSHABER, FREDERICK M particularly significant for the portfolio's overall progress.
For practitioners, the concentration of 2 out of 3 pending office actions with a single examiner allows for a more focused prosecution strategy. Insights gained from one of the actions handled by BRUSHABER, FREDERICK M may be directly applicable to the other. However, the presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that even with the same examiner, the technical arguments may need to be tailored to different classification standards across the 3 pending office actions.
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.
