Price Industries Limited has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are assigned to 2 examiners and 2 art units, so each action has a separate examiner and technical examination setting.
THOMPSON, JAMES A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel should handle the matters separately while checking whether communication-related claim themes support consistent terminology across responses.
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.
