Masonry Support Systems Limited has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This workload involves 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The current activity at the patent office is concentrated on this single case, indicating a narrow prosecution front for the company's active applications at this time.
HERRING, BRENT W is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since the total count of 1 pending office action is assigned to this individual, the examiner manages all current prosecution for the company. The use of 1 distinct art unit for this action indicates a focused examination environment for the pending technology. This alignment of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's legal progress is dependent on the findings of a single official.
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.
