Waterford Consultants LLC currently has 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are consolidated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a narrow technical focus for the company's current patent filings. This consolidation suggests that the company is navigating a specific set of prior art and examination criteria unique to that art unit.
The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner, SABOURI, MAZDA. As the busiest examiner, SABOURI, MAZDA is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This represents the entire pending workload for the portfolio, centralizing all current examiner communications with a single individual. This centralization can be advantageous for maintaining consistency in arguments across different applications.
With 2 pending office actions and only 1 distinct examiner, the company's prosecution strategy is highly dependent on the individual tendencies of SABOURI, MAZDA. Practitioners should focus on understanding this examiner's specific history and preferences, as they apply to both pending matters. The lack of diversity in art units or examiners simplifies the administrative burden but increases the impact of a single examiner's decisions on the Communications portfolio.
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.
