Katherine Bao-Shian Lee Md Apc maintains a highly focused patent prosecution profile within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently consists of 1 pending office action, which represents the entirety of the company's active engagement with the patent office in this sector. This focus allows for a concentrated prosecution strategy directed at a specific set of claims.
The examination of this portfolio is handled by 1 distinct examiner, PAULS, JOHN A, who is responsible for the pending office action. Because there is only a single distinct art unit involved, the prosecution environment is stable and lacks the complexity found in larger, more distributed portfolios. The outcome of the company's current efforts depends on the interactions within this administrative unit.
As the busiest examiner for the company, PAULS, JOHN A holds a pending office action. The alignment of the examiner and the art unit creates a streamlined path for addressing the requirements of the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area. This concentrated structure ensures that the practitioner can focus resources on a single point of contact.
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.
