Levitation Sciences LLC has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. David R Hare is the busiest examiner, responsible for the 1 pending office action.
The portfolio's current activity is highly centralized, with only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved. This active matter represents the entirety of the company's current prosecution efforts. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of the one examiner handling this case. The alignment of 1 distinct examiner with 1 distinct art unit suggests a very specific technical niche for this mechanical systems filing. This centralized structure ensures a direct line of communication with the patent office for the active prosecution.
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.
