Gottlieb Binder GmbH & Co. Kg has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This 1 pending office action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, GROUX, JENNIFER LILA, and 1 distinct art unit. GROUX, JENNIFER LILA is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. This structure indicates a singular point of contact for the current prosecution.
The portfolio shows a 1 to 1 relationship between the pending office action and the 1 distinct examiner. Because there is only 1 distinct art unit involved, the technical focus is highly concentrated. GROUX, JENNIFER LILA manages the entirety of the active workload in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. This arrangement simplifies the tracking of current matters for the applicant.
Practitioners should note that the 1 pending office action is the only active matter for the company. The involvement of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit means there is no examiner diversity in the current queue. This centralized strategy may lead to consistent outcomes during the prosecution of these mechanical systems.
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.
