Open When LLC currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single matter is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner, which indicates a highly concentrated prosecution focus for the company at this stage. The involvement of only 1 distinct art unit further suggests that the company's current patent activity is localized within a specific technical department.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is CLARE, MARK C, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because this individual handles the entirety of the company's pending workload, the prosecution strategy is uniquely tied to the specific preferences and historical trends of this single official. Practitioners can dedicate their resources to understanding the requirements of CLARE, MARK C without the need to balance multiple examiner styles.
The presence of 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area means that the administrative burden is relatively low. However, the lack of diversity across art units or examiners means there are no other active cases to provide a baseline for comparison within the portfolio. The 1 distinct art unit defines the current regulatory environment for Open When LLC.
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.
