Grass Valley Canada currently has 1 pending office action within the Networking & Security technology area. This matter is situated in 1 distinct art unit and is assigned to a distinct examiner. The prosecution profile is currently limited to this single interaction, providing a narrow scope of activity at the patent office.
The examiner assigned to this case is CASTRO, ALFONSO, who holds the 1 pending action. With only a distinct examiner involved, the company's immediate patent outcomes in this area depend on the specific review of this individual. This centralized activity simplifies the management of the current pending workload.
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.
