MAG Aerospace Industries LLC currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This portfolio is spread across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, requiring a broad approach to its current prosecution. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's innovations in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems are being reviewed by different technical groups.
ZEENDER, FLORIAN M is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, the company's legal strategy must address the specific requirements of 2 distinct art units. The 1 busiest examiner pending action accounts for a portion of the total 2 pending office actions, reflecting a distribution of the workload. This arrangement means that the 2 pending office actions are not concentrated under a single individual, necessitating a coordinated effort to ensure consistency across the distinct examiners currently reviewing the applications.
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.
