Microsure B V is managing 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners. The portfolio involves 4 distinct art units.
BUKSA, CHRISTOPHER ALLEN is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending action. With a one-to-one ratio of 4 pending office actions to 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, the portfolio is highly distributed. Each pending matter is being handled by a unique examiner in a unique art unit.
This perfect distribution across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units means that no two pending cases share the same examiner or art unit. Practitioners must be prepared for different prosecution tracks, each with its own technical focus. The 1 action per examiner ensures a completely decentralized review process.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
