G&H Diversified Manufacturing LP has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Both actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, showing a concentrated technical focus. However, the company is working with 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is being reviewed by a different person. This distribution across 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit requires the company to manage two separate examiner relationships.
The busiest examiner is NORRIS, URSULA LEE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split. The company must address the standards of the 1 distinct art unit while managing the individual feedback from 2 different examiners. Practitioners should note that each of the 2 pending office actions is being handled by a unique examiner, which may lead to different prosecution outcomes despite the shared art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
