2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
3Km Pte. Ltd. manages a patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area with 2 pending office actions. These 2 pending office actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each active matter is being reviewed by a different individual. Daniel M Keck is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action.
The prosecution activity is split across 2 distinct art units. This ratio between pending office actions, examiners, and art units indicates that the company's current filings are technically distinct enough to require review from different specialized groups. The 2 pending office actions represent the entirety of the company's current active workload at the patent office.
For practitioners, the use of 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units for the 2 pending office actions suggests a lack of concentration in the current portfolio. Daniel M Keck's involvement in 1 pending office action is representative of the distribution of work. The company's transportation-related innovations are currently being evaluated by separate entities within the patent office structure.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
