Intelligent Information Security Technology Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to a distinct examiner, Sean Patrick Dougherty, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. The matter is in a distinct art unit, reflecting a singular focus for the company's current patent prosecution.
The involvement of only a distinct examiner and a single art unit for the 1 pending action creates a very straightforward prosecution environment. For the practitioner, this means that all efforts can be concentrated on a single point of review. There is no need to balance different examiner styles or navigate the varying policies of multiple art units within the medical device field.
The outcome of this 1 pending office action will determine the company's immediate progress at the USPTO. The legal team should focus on the specific technical requirements of the art unit and the individual preferences of Sean Patrick Dougherty. A successful resolution of this single matter is the only way to advance the company's current pending patent portfolio.
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.
