Lightning Dep Inc. D/B/A Lightning Law is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This active matter is being handled by a distinct examiner within a distinct art unit. This indicates a focused prosecution effort where all current patent office interaction is consolidated under the reviewer and administrative group.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is MONTALVO, CARLOS FERNANDO, who is responsible for the busiest examiner pending action. The presence of 1 pending office action and the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area suggests that the application falls into a specific technical niche. The company's immediate goal is to navigate the requirements of the examiner assigned to the case. This concentrated workload allows for a dedicated focus on the specific legal and technical issues raised in the pending action.
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.
