Proqure Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending matter is under the review of a different individual. Both of these actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the technical subject matter of the applications is closely related despite being assigned to different people.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is ZEROUAL, OMAR, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This matches the workload of the other distinct examiners involved in the 2 pending office actions. Because all activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit, the company may experience a degree of consistency in the examination standards applied to its Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems filings. However, the involvement of 2 distinct examiners still requires the company to address separate sets of examiner preferences and styles.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
