1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
No Climb Products Limited currently has 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner, JAMES J YANG, in a single distinct art unit. As the busiest examiner for the company, JAMES J YANG is responsible for the only pending office action. This narrow scope of activity suggests a highly focused patenting effort where the outcome is currently tied to a single examiner's review within the Communications field.
With only a single distinct examiner and a single distinct art unit, the company's prosecution strategy is entirely centralized. This allows for a direct and concentrated effort to address the 1 pending office action without the need to coordinate across multiple USPTO departments. The role of JAMES J YANG is central to the company's current patent goals in Communications, as there are no other pending matters or distinct examiners involved in the portfolio at this time.
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.
