Pga Tour Enterprises LLC focuses its patent efforts in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 2 pending office actions. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, which distributes the prosecution risk across different reviewers within the patent office.
Despite having multiple examiners, the portfolio's active matters are contained within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a thematic consistency in the types of inventions being pursued by the company. LANEAU, RONALD is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This structure allows the company to receive multiple perspectives on its technology from different examiners within the same specialized group.
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.
