TomTom Global Content B.V. currently has 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating a completely individualized prosecution environment. The fact that there are 4 distinct art units for 4 actions means that every single application is being reviewed in a unique technological context, highlighting the diverse nature of the company's innovations.
GASCA ALVA JR, MOISES is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are only responsible for 1 pending office action. Because even the busiest examiner holds only 1 action, the prosecution strategy must be tailored specifically for each of the 4 pending matters. This lack of examiner concentration prevents the company from relying on any one individual's familiarity with its core technology across different filings. Practitioners should be prepared to navigate the specific preferences of 4 separate art units, which may result in varying timelines and examination rigor for each of the 4 pending office actions.
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.
