Howden Group Limited has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are both located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a consistent technical focus for the current filings. The company is working with 2 distinct examiners, meaning each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different person.
JONES, GORDON A is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action currently assigned to him. Since both actions are in 1 distinct art unit, the legal arguments can likely remain consistent even when addressing the 2 distinct examiners. This concentration in a single art unit allows for a specialized prosecution strategy for the 2 pending office actions.
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.
