Sustainment Technologies, Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while different examiners are involved, the technology is concentrated within a single specialized group.
BURSUM, KIMBERLY SUZANNE is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 total actions, the workload is evenly split. The fact that both actions are in 1 distinct art unit indicates a very specific technical focus for the company's current prosecution, despite the involvement of multiple examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
