A La Carte Media, Inc. has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This total dispersion indicates that the company's pending applications cover a broad range of technical subjects or administrative classifications.
GOYEA, OLUSEGUN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. This single action is part of the 3 pending office actions for the company. Because each of the 3 distinct examiners is in a different art unit, the applicant must tailor their prosecution strategy to three different sets of art unit guidelines and examiner preferences.
The presence of multiple distinct examiners ensures that each application receives an independent review. Strategy must be tailored to the specific requirements of 3 distinct art units to ensure broad protection across the entire portfolio. The small number of pending actions allows for a highly attentive prosecution approach. This decentralized structure requires the legal team to stay versatile and responsive to a variety of technical and procedural requirements.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
