Westlake Royal Building Products (Usa) Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. WALRAED-SULLIVAN, KYLE is the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 pending office action. The 2 pending office actions are entirely fragmented, with no overlap in examiners or art units.
This means each case is being handled by a different individual in a different department. Practitioners must therefore develop separate strategies for each of the 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units involved. There is no opportunity to leverage examiner familiarity across the active portfolio, as each of the 2 pending office actions is isolated. The company must navigate the specific procedural norms of 2 distinct art units within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area to advance these matters.
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.
