ICOM Incorporated is currently managing 1 pending office action. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which centralizes the applicant's current prosecution efforts. No technology area is listed, suggesting that this single filing is the primary focus of the applicant's current interactions with the patent office.
Examiner SAMARA, LOUIS is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since this 1 action represents the entirety of the pending workload, the examiner's individual review speed and requirements are the most critical factors for the applicant. With 1 pending action and 1 distinct examiner, the prosecution process is straightforward and lacks the complexity of managing multiple examiners or art units, allowing for a dedicated response to the single official involved.
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.
