Sargent Manufacturing Company has 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, all of whom are located within 1 distinct art unit. AHMAD, FARIA F is the busiest examiner, responsible for 2 pending office actions. This indicates a high level of concentration, with all 4 pending office actions being reviewed in the same art unit and 2 of them assigned to a single examiner.
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.
