Priority Outdoor Products LLC currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, indicating a highly concentrated prosecution footprint for the company's current filings. Such concentration suggests that the company's immediate legal strategy is focused on a specific technological niche rather than a broad array of mechanical systems.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is KNUTSON, JACOB D, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This individual workload matches the total volume of 1 pending office action for the entire portfolio, showing that prosecution efforts are currently focused under a single point of review at the patent office. For the practitioner, this means that the outcome of the entire pending portfolio rests on the interactions with this 1 distinct examiner. The alignment of the pending office action with the distinct art unit further simplifies the administrative overhead, as all current correspondence is localized within a single specialized division of the office.
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.
