Kenneth Charles Design LLC has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, Anthony Derrell Barfield. The prosecution is occurring within 1 distinct art unit, which indicates a focused technical review of the company's application. Anthony Derrell Barfield is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, responsible for 1 pending office action.
The portfolio's current activity is limited to this 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution process is highly centralized. This suggests that the company's current efforts in this technology area are concentrated on a specific filing rather than a broad array of simultaneous applications. Practitioners can focus their attention on the specific requirements of the 1 examiner responsible for the busiest pending case.
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.
