CHRISTOPHER D PRONE is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action under their review. This 1 busiest examiner pending action represents the full extent of the company's current pending office actions. For the practitioner, this means that the immediate success of the portfolio relies on the specific examination style of this one individual. The limitation to 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current innovations are being evaluated within a single specialized mechanical engineering framework.
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.
