Visit Inc. currently has 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. Rebecca Colette Williams is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action. This represents the company's only pending prosecution matter, with no other active office actions at this time.
The involvement of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit for the 1 pending office action means that the company's current prosecution is entirely centralized. Rebecca Colette Williams is the only examiner currently reviewing the portfolio's pending work. With only 1 pending office action, the company's engagement with the patent office is highly specific. This concentration in the Communications area ensures that all current prosecution resources are directed toward a single examiner and a single 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.
