TomTom Navigation B.V. has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Each matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, so the pending set has no repeated examiner or art-unit assignment in the available data.
AFRIN, NAZIA is the busiest identified examiner, with 1 pending matter. Individualized prosecution planning is more relevant here than a concentrated examiner strategy, with attention to the separate technical and procedural context of each application.
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.
