Neurovigil Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual in a separate administrative unit.
EVANS, ASHLEY ELIZABETH is the busiest examiner, with a busiest examiner pending count of 1. With a busiest examiner pending count of 1, the workload is evenly split among the assigned examiners. Practitioners should prepare for distinct perspectives from each examiner involved in these separate art units.
The use of 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending office actions ensures that no single examiner's tendencies will dominate the company's current prosecution. Because these matters are in 2 distinct art units, the company must navigate different internal guidelines for each case. This structure requires a strategy that addresses the specific requirements of each examiner and art unit independently within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
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.
