Oba Hardy currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This 1 pending office action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is being processed within 1 distinct art unit. The portfolio is highly concentrated, with all current prosecution activity centered on a single application. This lack of diversity in examiners and art units means that the company's immediate patent prospects are tied to a single point of review.
The busiest examiner, OUELLETTE, JONATHAN P, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because this is the only pending action for Oba Hardy, the examiner's decisions are the sole factor in the current prosecution landscape for the company. For a practitioner, success depends on navigating the specific requirements of the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area as interpreted by OUELLETTE, JONATHAN P. There are no other examiners or 1 distinct art units to consider, making this a focused engagement at the patent office. Understanding the specific examination history of this examiner within the assigned art unit is essential.
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.
