Sub-Drill Supply Limited has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This active matter is being reviewed by a distinct examiner within a distinct art unit. This represents a narrow and focused interaction with the patent office.
DOUGLAS S WOOD is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending actions is limited to this case, this examiner is the official currently reviewing the company's patent applications. The prosecution strategy is therefore concentrated on this examiner and art unit.
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.
