Actimize Ltd. maintains a robust patent portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company is currently managing 13 pending office actions, which are distributed across 12 distinct examiners. This high number of examiners relative to the pending actions indicates a broad exposure to different individual review styles at the USPTO.
The portfolio is further diversified across 9 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's technological interests span a wide range of classifications. The busiest examiner, BUNKER, WILLIAM B, is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This distribution shows that no single examiner holds a dominant share of the company's active matters, as the remaining workload is spread among the other distinct examiners.
With 13 pending office actions and 9 distinct art units, the prosecution strategy must be highly coordinated to ensure consistency across various technical fields. The involvement of 12 distinct examiners requires the company to adapt to a variety of examiner behaviors. This complex landscape of active matters demands a sophisticated approach to portfolio management.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 only | 4 (31%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (38%) |
| §103 only | 3 (23%) |
