VEMAG Maschinenbau GmbH currently has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending application is being reviewed by a different person. The portfolio is also concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, which shows that both of the pending office actions are being evaluated by the same technical division.
PARSLEY, DAVID J is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. Since there are only 2 pending office actions in total, this single action represents half of the company's active prosecution. The fact that 2 distinct examiners are involved for the actions ensures that there is no overlap in examiner personnel for the current mechanical systems portfolio.
The 1 distinct art unit involved for these 2 pending office actions indicates a technical focus in the company's intellectual property. Practitioners must address the specific requirements of this single art unit while navigating the styles of the distinct examiners, including PARSLEY, DAVID J. With the pending office actions, the prosecution strategy is highly individualized for each case within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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.
