Regional Market Makers Inc. currently holds a company patent portfolio with 1 pending office action. This activity is focused in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner working within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a singular point of contact for the company's current patent matters at the USPTO.
ALLEN, WILLIAM J is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending actions is 1, ALLEN, WILLIAM J is the sole examiner currently reviewing the company's applications. This concentration allows the applicant to focus their prosecution strategy on a single individual's preferences and requirements.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the pending work is contained within one specialized group at the USPTO. With only 1 pending office action, the administrative volume for this portfolio is currently low. Practitioners should monitor the progress of the 1 distinct examiner to understand the likely timeline for resolution and any specific technical hurdles.
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.
