Ideas Trading Center LLC has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. John S. Wasaff is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The company's current prosecution is focused on this single matter, making the specific habits of this examiner and the standards of this art unit the primary factors in its immediate patenting success.
The focus on the distinct examiner and the distinct art unit suggests a narrow technical or procedural scope for the company's current activities at the patent office. John S. Wasaff is the point of contact for the active matter, requiring the company to tailor its strategy specifically to his past patterns and the specific requirements of that technical group. Practitioners should focus on the specific examiner's history, as his workload represents the company's current interaction with the USPTO in this technology area. Without other pending matters to provide a baseline, the outcome of the 1 pending office action is critical for the portfolio's immediate progress.
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.
