Smoosh LLC has a portfolio containing 1 pending office action. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, MCPARTLIN, SARAH BURNHAM, who also serves as the busiest examiner. There are 0 distinct art units recorded for this portfolio, indicating a very narrow or yet-to-be-classified footprint within the patent office's organizational structure. This lack of art unit diversity means that the primary administrative focus is the individual examiner rather than a broader departmental policy or specialized group.
The busiest examiner, MCPARTLIN, SARAH BURNHAM, is responsible for 1 pending office action. With only 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner involved, the company's current prosecution success is tied to a single point of contact. This lack of examiner or art unit diversity means that the prosecution strategy does not need to account for varying examiner behaviors or departmental differences at this time. The focus remains entirely on the specific requirements of the 1 distinct examiner assigned to the case. For the practitioner, the 1 pending office action is the sole focus of current activity, and the historical data of the assigned examiner is the only relevant metric for predicting the outcome when 0 distinct art units are involved.
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.
