Skip Hop Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are both located within 1 distinct art unit but involve 2 distinct examiners. LIBBY, TROY ALAN is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action. The data shows that while the technical focus is concentrated in 1 art unit, the 2 pending actions are being reviewed by different individuals.
The involvement of 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit suggests a focused prosecution strategy within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. For practitioners, this means that while the technical focus is concentrated in one department, the outcomes are still subject to the individual styles of two different examiners. LIBBY, TROY ALAN manages a portion of the 2 pending office actions, but the overall strategy must account for the independent review processes of both examiners. This structure allows for a concentrated technical approach while navigating the specific requirements of each distinct examiner.
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.
