Shelfie Pty Ltd. is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a concentrated focus for the company's current patent activity. The presence of a single art unit suggests that the pending intellectual property is specialized within a narrow technical field rather than spanning multiple disciplines.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CROCKETT, JOSHUA BRIGHAM, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. For a practitioner, this indicates that the current outcomes for the company depend entirely on the specific examination style and requirements of this individual. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the applicant's immediate prosecution success is tied to a single set of examiner interactions. This lack of examiner diversity means that the applicant cannot compare different examination approaches across their current filings.
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.
