Sei S P A has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. The prosecution is split between 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each of the company's pending actions is being reviewed in a different technical environment, which may lead to different examination experiences for each application.
GONZALEZ, LUIS A is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. With 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for one application. The involvement of 2 distinct art units for 2 pending actions suggests a range of technical subject matter within this small portfolio. This decentralized structure means that the company must manage 2 separate examiner relationships and 2 different sets of art unit standards simultaneously. Practitioners should be prepared for unique technical challenges in each of the 2 distinct art units.
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.
