Fm Marketing GmbH is managing 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This case is assigned to MUNION, JAMES E, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The company's prosecution is currently limited to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit.
With only 1 pending office action, the company's immediate patent goals are tied to a single examiner's review. Practitioners should focus on the specific technical requirements of the Communications area as interpreted by the assigned art unit.
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.
