Having only a single pending office action means the company can dedicate its resources to a specific set of examiner requirements. The Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area encompasses the technical scope of the active matter. SHELTON, IAN BRYCE is the sole examiner responsible for the prosecution currently active. This unique art unit likely contains the specialized knowledge required for the company's transportation-related innovations. The distinct examiner and art unit represent the entire current interaction with the patent office. This centralized approach can simplify the management of the pending office action.
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.
