International Safety Components Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions within its patent portfolio. These filings are situated in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution is distributed among 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit, which indicates that while multiple examiners are involved, they are working within the same specialized technical group.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is TROY, DANIEL J, who is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This assignment represents a portion of the 2 total pending office actions currently active for the company. The use of the 2 distinct examiners for the pending actions shows that the workload is spread across different individuals, even though they share a single art unit.
The concentration in the 1 distinct art unit suggests that the subject matter within Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems is being reviewed by a single specialized section. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for the pending actions, the company has different points of contact within that art unit. This structure allows for diverse examiner perspectives within a focused technical area.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
