J Mac Safety Systems Limited operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company has 2 pending office actions. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing a complete lack of concentration in its current prosecution efforts.
BINDA, GREGORY JOHN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. The prosecution is evenly divided between the 2 assigned examiners and their respective 2 art units. This means that each pending matter is being handled by a different person in a different part of the patent office, requiring separate strategies for each case.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending actions suggests that the company's current innovations are being classified into different technical categories. Practitioners should be aware that the feedback from 1 examiner or unit may not necessarily apply to the other. This decentralized approach for a small number of actions means that the company must address 2 unique sets of examination standards simultaneously.
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.
