Hummingbird Sport Limited Partnership currently manages 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This activity is distributed across a single distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, indicating a highly concentrated prosecution footprint for the company's current filings. The focus on this technology area suggests that the company's intellectual property strategy is currently specialized rather than diversified across multiple scientific disciplines.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is TATESURE, VINCENT, who is responsible for a single pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is a single case, this examiner handles the entirety of the company's active workload in this technology space. Practitioners should note that the prosecution strategy is presently focused on a single point of contact within the USPTO. This concentration allows for a very specific focus on the examiner's past patterns and the specific requirements of the art unit involved in the case.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
