Serviço Nacional De Aprendizagem Industrial - Departamento Regional Da Bahia-Senai/Dr/Ba has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Both of these 2 pending actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which centralizes the prosecution process. This arrangement allows for interaction with the same person across all pending matters.
The busiest examiner is BURGESS, MARC R, who handles the 2 pending office actions. These matters are located within 1 distinct art unit, reinforcing the concentration of the current applications. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the company's prosecution strategy is concentrated on a single point of contact. This arrangement allows for a consistent interaction with the patent office.
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.
