Umarex Usa Inc. is currently handling 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, but all matters are located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the examiners differ, the technical focus of the applications remains within a single administrative group.
The busiest examiner, CAUDLE, LOGAN WILLIAM, is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This represents a majority of the company's pending workload. Consequently, the company's prosecution success is significantly influenced by the decisions of this examiner, while the remaining action is handled by another examiner in the same art unit.
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.
