Recaro Aircraft Seating GmbH & Co. Kg has 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. Prosecution is currently split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. KASENGE, CHARLES R is the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 pending office action. The presence of 2 pending actions across 2 examiners suggests a distributed approach to its current intellectual property filings in this specific technology sector.
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.
