Sun-Q Door Controls Limited has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner and are located within 1 distinct art unit. This represents a high level of concentration for the company's current patent prosecution, as all pending matters are being handled by the same individual in the same technical group. The success of the company's current door control patent strategy depends entirely on the resolution of these 2 pending office actions.
MORGAN, EMILY M is the busiest examiner, responsible for 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. This examiner is handling the entirety of the company's pending workload in this technology area. The focus on 1 distinct art unit suggests that the door control technologies being patented are closely related and fall under a single technical classification. For the applicant, this means that the outcomes of the 2 pending office actions are likely to be correlated, as they are being evaluated by the same examiner under the same set of 1 distinct art unit guidelines.
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.
