Silly Surfacing LLC currently manages 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This application is being reviewed by HARTMANN, GARY S, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. The prosecution effort is concentrated under 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a very targeted technical focus for the company.
Because there is only 1 pending office action, Silly Surfacing LLC has a single point of contact at the patent office. This alignment with HARTMANN, GARY S allows the applicant to focus on the specific procedural and technical requirements of 1 distinct examiner. However, the lack of diversity across 1 distinct art unit means that the company's current efforts in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector are subject to the specific interpretive standards of a single group, making the relationship with this examiner critical for success.
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.
