Genuine Parts Company is a company patent portfolio focused on the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently includes 2 pending office actions. This count of pending actions represents the current state of active prosecution for the entity at the USPTO.
The examination of this portfolio is conducted by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. The count of 2 distinct examiners matches the count of 2 pending office actions, meaning each case is assigned to a different individual. These examiners are located in 2 different art units, requiring the company to navigate two separate technical divisions within the USPTO.
BROWN, LUIS A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action currently under review. Since there are 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for exactly 1 case. The success of the company's current prosecution efforts depends on the individual decisions of BROWN, LUIS A and the other distinct examiner involved.
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.
