Lacks Enterprises Inc. has 3 pending office actions focused in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that every pending matter is being handled by a different examiner in a different specialized unit.
GRUSBY, REBECCA LYNN is the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 pending office action. Because the number of pending office actions matches the number of distinct examiners, there is no overlap in personnel across the current portfolio. Each of the 3 pending actions requires a unique approach tailored to the specific art unit and examiner involved. This correspondence between actions, examiners, and art units suggests a fragmented prosecution environment for the current mechanical and transportation filings.
Practitioners must manage 3 separate relationships and sets of examiner preferences across the 3 distinct art units. The lack of concentration under GRUSBY, REBECCA LYNN means that no single examiner's habits will dictate the outcome of the entire portfolio. Strategy should be focused on the individual requirements of each art unit within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area. The 3 pending office actions represent a diverse set of challenges across the USPTO.
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.
