Mastercard International Incorporaton has 1 pending office action currently active in its portfolio. This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner and is situated within 1 distinct art unit. The prosecution is highly centralized, with all current activity focused on a single point of contact at the patent office. This structure minimizes the complexity of managing multiple deadlines or varying examiner styles across the portfolio.
The busiest examiner for the company is KANJOOR, AJAY J, who is assigned 1 pending office action. Since there is only 1 distinct examiner for the entire pending set, this examiner's decisions will determine the immediate success of the company's current patent filings. The presence of only 1 art unit suggests that the subject matter of the pending action falls within a specific technical niche. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination history of this examiner to navigate the single pending action effectively.
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.
