1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Wps Horti Systems B V is currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area with 1 pending office action. This prosecution is confined to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a very narrow administrative footprint. Such a focused profile indicates that the company's current legal strategy is concentrated within a single specialized division of the patent office. This lack of diversification across different art units suggests a highly specific technical focus for the company's current applications.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is HAGEMAN, MARK C, who is managing 1 pending office action. With 1 pending action in total, HAGEMAN, MARK C handles the entire current workload for the company. This alignment between the 1 pending action and 1 examiner creates a direct and singular point of contact for the company's current patent prosecution. For the practitioner, this means that the success of the company's immediate patent goals depends entirely on the interactions with this 1 individual.
The concentration of 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area allows for a streamlined prosecution process. However, it also means that the company does not have multiple concurrent applications to balance examiner feedback or art unit trends. The current prosecution environment is defined by this 1 to 1 ratio of actions to examiners, making the specific preferences of HAGEMAN, MARK C the most critical factor in the portfolio's near-term development.
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.
