Ickovic & Bliss Inc. currently manages a patent portfolio focused on the Communications technology area. The portfolio shows a concentrated prosecution history with 1 pending office action. This single pending action represents the entirety of the active workload for the company at the patent office.
The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner working within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a specific focus for the current active matters. Practitioners can observe that the distribution of work is limited to a single point of contact within the USPTO infrastructure.
The busiest examiner identified for this portfolio is BLACK-CHILDRESS, RAJSHEED O. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This matches the total pending office action count for the entire company, showing that this individual manages all current active prosecution for the entity.
Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution strategy is dependent on the interactions with this specific individual. The lack of diversity in art units suggests a specialized set of filings within the Communications sector.
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.
