Highland Park Technologies LLC has 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This 1 action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which indicates that the company's current interactions with the patent office are focused. The involvement of 1 distinct art unit further demonstrates that the active prosecution is localized within 1 specific regulatory group. Such a narrow scope of activity suggests that the company is pursuing a specific set of claims at this time.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is FERENCE, JAMES M, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is also 1, this examiner is handling the entirety of the company's current workload. Practitioners can observe that the 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit represent the full scope of the company's immediate patent hurdles. This focus in the transportation and mechanical systems sector suggests a specific set of active intellectual property claims being managed by FERENCE, JAMES M.
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.
