LABLIGHT AR INC. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's technical filings are categorized into different specialized groups at the patent office. The portfolio involves 2 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending action is being reviewed by a different official with potentially different examination criteria.
PATEL, JITESH is the busiest examiner for this company, currently handling 1 pending office action. While he is one of the 2 distinct examiners involved, his work represents a portion of the company's current active prosecution. The distribution of 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units suggests that LABLIGHT AR INC. must adapt its legal arguments to suit the specific technical requirements of each unit. With distinct examiners overseeing the pending office actions, the company should ensure that its prosecution strategy remains consistent across the Communications field. This dual-track prosecution requires careful management to achieve favorable outcomes in both distinct art units, starting with the 1 pending action under the busiest examiner.
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.
