The Crawford Group, Inc. has 1 pending office action currently active. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, Dione N Simpson. As the busiest examiner for the company, Dione N Simpson is responsible for 1 pending action. This represents the total current prosecution activity for the firm, indicating a narrow focus at the USPTO.
The company's current strategy is centered on this 1 examiner, which simplifies the management of its patent portfolio at this time. With only 1 pending action, the firm can dedicate its resources to addressing the specific requirements of this individual case without managing a broader array of examiner preferences.
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.
