Abu Dhabi University currently has 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing exactly 1 application. The portfolio is also spread across 4 distinct art units, indicating a range of technical classifications within the broader transportation and mechanical systems field.
The busiest examiner, RAPILLO, KRISTINE K, holds 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 5 pending office actions and 5 distinct examiners, there is no concentration of work under any 1 individual. The presence of 4 distinct art units for only 5 pending actions shows that the university's research is being evaluated by multiple specialized groups within the office. For practitioners, this high level of dispersion across both 5 examiners and 4 art units means that prosecution strategies must be individualized for each application. There is very little opportunity to apply lessons learned from 1 examiner or art unit to the rest of the pending portfolio, as 4 out of the 5 actions are in different units and all 5 are with different examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| §112 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
