Essence Smartcare Ltd. has 3 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This pattern shows a degree of diversification for a small number of actions, as each pending matter is being reviewed by a different examiner in a unique art unit.
SERAYDARYAN, HELENA H is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is spread across multiple individuals, with no single examiner or art unit dominating the prosecution landscape. This variety in 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's communications technology spans several different technical classifications, requiring expertise from multiple specialized groups at the patent office. For the practitioner, this means managing 3 separate sets of examiner preferences and 3 distinct art unit standards simultaneously.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
