Nova-Tech Engineering LLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for one case. The applications are also located in 2 distinct art units, showing that the company's current prosecution efforts are focused on different technical areas within Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems.
MACCRATE, NICOLE PAIGE is the busiest examiner, though she handles 1 pending office action. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, there is no overlap or concentration in the portfolio. Each of the 2 pending office actions must be prosecuted independently, as they are being reviewed by different people in 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests a highly specific portfolio where each application represents a unique technical path in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. The 1 pending office action assigned to the busiest examiner reinforces the decentralized nature of the current filings. Practitioners should prepare for two separate sets of examiner expectations across the 2 distinct art units involved.
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.
