Gusto Inc. has 5 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units.
RICHARDSON, JAMES E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because every matter has a separate examiner and art-unit assignment, counsel should use individualized claim and prior-art analysis supported by consistent portfolio guidance.
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.
