Smart Response Technologies Inc. holds a patent portfolio in the Communications technology area. Currently, the portfolio includes 1 pending office action, representing the full extent of the company's active prosecution. This single action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, which indicates a lack of examiner variety in the current workload. The portfolio's active matter is situated within 1 distinct art unit, pointing to a specific technical classification for the pending application.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is MASTERS, KRISTEN MICHELLE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because this examiner is the only one currently assigned to the portfolio, the prosecution's outcome depends entirely on the interactions with this specific individual. The presence of 1 pending office action under 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit highlights a highly concentrated prosecution effort. Success in this portfolio requires addressing the specific concerns raised by this single examiner in the Communications field.
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.
