Globalmedia Group LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. Both of these actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a very focused technical area for their communications-related intellectual property. The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, meaning each of the 2 pending actions is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution means that every active matter is being reviewed by a different person despite the narrow technical focus.
MATTHEW DAVID KIM is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action currently assigned. Since there are 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's innovations are being evaluated within a single specialized group at the patent office. Practitioners should note that the busiest examiner handles 1 of the active matters, which is consistent with the overall distribution of the portfolio. The focus on Communications ensures that the prosecution remains within a specific technical framework. With 2 pending office actions, the company maintains a highly targeted presence in its chosen field.
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.
