Plantstream Inc. holds a company patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. There are 2 pending office actions currently active. These actions are distributed among a matching number of distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's innovations are being evaluated by multiple technical divisions, requiring a multi-faceted approach to prosecution.
GOLDBERG, IVAN R is the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This examiner is currently handling 1 pending office action. This represents a portion of the total pending office actions currently active for the company. Because the workload is split between the examiners, no single individual dominates the current prosecution landscape.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's research spans different specialized classifications within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. With multiple examiners involved, the company must manage separate sets of examiner preferences and interpretations. This requires the company to tailor its legal arguments to different individual perspectives while maintaining consistency across the portfolio. Resolving the issues raised by GOLDBERG, IVAN R is a key step.
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.
