Inalfa Roof Systems Group B.V. is managing 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners. The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, showing a one to one ratio between actions, examiners, and units.
CATHERINE A KELLY is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, matching the count of the other distinct examiners. This distribution suggests that no single examiner has a disproportionate influence on the portfolio. The 4 pending office actions are spread evenly across the USPTO personnel, with KELLY managing 1 of the cases.
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.
