Adriel Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, so each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. However, both actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a unified technical focus for the company's current patent efforts in the transportation and e-commerce sector.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is MACASIANO, MARILYN G, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is split between MACASIANO, MARILYN G and the other distinct examiner. This distribution requires the applicant to address different examiner styles while operating within the same technical framework of 1 distinct art unit. This concentration can help in maintaining a consistent procedural approach for both filings.
With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the company has a manageable prosecution workload. The fact that both examiners are in a single art unit is beneficial, as it likely means they follow similar procedural rules and technical standards within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. Practitioners can focus on the specific feedback from MACASIANO, MARILYN G and her colleague to advance these filings. This environment allows for a clear and targeted approach to securing patent rights.
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.
