Rtsys has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This matter is assigned to examiner CHRISTOPHER RICHARD WALKER, who is the only distinct examiner currently listed for the company. This indicates a focused prosecution effort where a single individual is responsible for reviewing the company's active application.
The portfolio's activity is concentrated in 1 distinct art unit. CHRISTOPHER RICHARD WALKER is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, overseeing 1 pending office action. Since there is only 1 pending action and 1 distinct examiner, the entire prosecution workload is managed by this individual. This concentration within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area suggests a specific technical focus for the company's current patenting activity.
Practitioners should note that the company's current prosecution success relies on the relationship with a single examiner in a single art unit. With only 1 pending office action, there is no broader portfolio activity to provide comparative data on examiner behavior. The strategy must be tailored specifically to the requirements of CHRISTOPHER RICHARD WALKER and the norms of the individual art unit involved.
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.
