Whitserve LLC has 3 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Those matters are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that the current prosecution work is not concentrated in a single examination assignment.
SCHNURR, JOHN R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because that figure matches the total pending office actions assigned to each examiner and art unit overall, counsel may need to address separate examination contexts rather than rely on a single examiner-focused strategy.
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.
