Oriental Shiraishi Corporation currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. Having only 1 pending office action indicates a very narrow prosecution focus at this time. The concentration within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current application relates to a specific technical niche within the mechanical systems field. Practitioners should note that the entire pending workload is concentrated in this one area.
ARMSTRONG, KYLE is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action currently under review. Since this 1 distinct examiner is responsible for the entire pending portfolio, their individual history and examination style are of paramount importance. Practitioners should carefully analyze the past behavior of this examiner within the 1 distinct art unit. The outcome of the company's current patent efforts depends entirely on the resolution of the 1 pending office action currently on record. No other examiners or art units are currently involved in the company's pending portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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.
