Recreational Systems International B V has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and the same number of distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's current applications are being evaluated independently by different units within the patent office. The busiest examiner, GLESSNER, BRIAN E, is handling 1 pending office action.
The presence of 2 distinct art units for the pending office actions highlights a lack of concentration in the company's current prosecution. Each of the 2 distinct examiners is responsible for a single action, including GLESSNER, BRIAN E. This structure requires the company to address the specific requirements and styles of different examiners across multiple technical groups. GLESSNER, BRIAN E is responsible for 1 pending office action, representing half of the active examination workload for the company's mechanical systems.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
