True Manufacturing Company Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution is split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, meaning each pending matter is being reviewed in a different technical group. LUGO, CARLOS is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action.
This distribution for only two cases suggests that the company's current filings cover distinct technical sub-sectors within the broader mechanical systems field. Practitioners should be prepared for different procedural expectations from each of the 2 distinct art units involved. The use of 2 distinct examiners ensures that each application receives an independent technical review.
This decentralized approach requires a versatile prosecution strategy to address the varied feedback from multiple examiners. The lack of concentration in a single art unit indicates a diverse technical focus for the company's current pending matters. Each application is subject to the specific requirements of its assigned technical group.
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.
