Louver-Lite Limited currently has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners. SHABLACK, JOHNNIE A is the busiest examiner, responsible for 2 of the pending actions.
All prosecution activity is concentrated in 1 distinct art unit. This means that while there are distinct examiners, they are both operating within the same technical group. The fact that SHABLACK, JOHNNIE A handles the majority of pending actions suggests a significant point of contact for the portfolio's current office actions. Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences of this examiner within the 1 art unit. The concentration in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area and the single art unit allows for a highly consistent technical strategy. Managing multiple examiners across the actions simplifies the coordination of arguments and examiner interviews.
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.
