Minesense Technologies Ltd. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a more diversified prosecution strategy than a single-action portfolio. For the practitioner, this means managing 2 distinct examiners and their respective art unit standards simultaneously. The Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area covers a broad range of technologies, and the use of 2 distinct art units suggests the company's innovations span multiple technical sub-sectors.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is BREGEL, EVAN ANTHONY, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. While there are 2 pending office actions in total, BREGEL, EVAN ANTHONY is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution requires the practitioner to balance the specific requirements of 2 distinct examiners. Success in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area will depend on the ability to navigate the different procedural and substantive preferences of each examiner. The presence of 2 distinct art units highlights the need for a versatile legal approach that can adapt to different USPTO environments.
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.
