Kinugawa Rubber Ind Co. Ltd. holds a portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action. This action is being handled by STRIMBU, GREGORY J, who is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending matter. This single point of contact for the company's pending work simplifies the management of its intellectual property.
The company's prosecution involves 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The 1 distinct art unit indicates that the company's current technical focus is confined to a single administrative group. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the company faces a very light prosecution workload at this time. The alignment of 1 distinct examiner with 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current patenting efforts are highly specialized and concentrated in one 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.
