Ma Industries LLC has 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action is handled by examiner BUCK, MATTHEW R, who is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending action. The portfolio is limited to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. For a practitioner, this means that the outcome of the company's current patent prosecution is entirely in the hands of a single examiner. There is no internal baseline to compare how different examiners might treat the company's technologies.
The presence of 1 pending office action indicates a very focused active portfolio. Because the action is in 1 distinct art unit, the practitioner can concentrate on the specific prior art and procedures relevant to that unit. BUCK, MATTHEW R is the sole examiner currently engaged with the company's pending applications, so their specific perspective is the most important factor in the prosecution. The Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area points to innovations in logistical or mechanical systems. With 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the company's current patent profile is highly centralized.
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.
