Infinite Orbits currently faces 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit and involves a distinct examiner. HERRERA, MICHAEL J is the busiest examiner for the company, holding the pending action. The portfolio's current prosecution is entirely centralized, with all pending matters residing with a particular examiner.
The concentration of the portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field suggests a specialized development focus. Because the company is dealing with a distinct examiner, the prosecution strategy can be highly tailored to that individual's specific requirements and historical patterns. This streamlined approach may allow for more direct negotiation during the examination process. Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences of the assigned examiner to efficiently move the application toward allowance.
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.
