Sea-Smart LLC has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. HAILE, BENYAM is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
The two actions follow separate examination paths. Counsel should compare them for consistent technical framing, but develop responses independently according to each record’s claim issues and cited art. The profile does not show a shared examiner or art unit, so direct matter-level review is sufficient.
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.
