Parallel Systems Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. The prosecution is split between 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each of the company's pending actions is being reviewed in a different technical environment, requiring a tailored approach for each application.
TISSOT, ADAM D is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. With 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for one application. The involvement of 2 distinct art units for 2 pending actions suggests a range of technical subject matter within this small portfolio. This decentralized structure means that the company must manage 2 separate examiner relationships and 2 different sets of art unit standards simultaneously. Practitioners should be prepared for unique technical challenges in each of the 2 distinct art units, as the outcomes in one may not necessarily predict the results in the other.
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.

| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
