Smart Nanos LLC maintains a prosecution footprint with 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This case is being handled by a single distinct examiner in a single distinct art unit. The company's current patent office activity is entirely limited to this matter. Having only a single pending action suggests a highly focused or early-stage filing strategy within this specific technical sector.
John W Eldred is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing the 1 pending office action. As there is only a single pending action reported, this examiner is responsible for the entirety of the company's active prosecution. This concentration in a single distinct art unit means that the company's current legal efforts are focused on the standards of a single specialized division. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination style of John W Eldred, as this individual manages all current active cases for the company.
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.
