BYTHROW, PETER M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, handling the 1 pending office action. Since there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the individual's current patent office experience is singular. The progress of the portfolio in the transportation sector is currently tied to the outcome of this 1 pending office action. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of the 1 distinct examiner to advance the application. The 1 pending office action serves as the sole point of engagement between the applicant and the patent office in this technology area. The outcome in this 1 distinct art unit will set the tone for future filings in the mechanical systems domain.
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.
