Aegis Sortation LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The busiest examiner, AWAIS, MUHAMMAD SUMRAIZ, is responsible for 1 pending action, showing an even distribution of work.
The 2 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is being reviewed by a different person in a different art unit. This 1 to 1 ratio between actions and examiners indicates that there is no overlap in personnel for the current portfolio. With 1 busiest examiner pending action, the workload is decentralized across the 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units.
Practitioners must manage 2 separate examiner relationships, as no two pending actions share the same examiner. The 2 distinct art units involved suggest that the company's transportation and mechanical systems innovations fall under different technical classifications. This structure requires a unique prosecution approach for each of the 2 pending office actions, as there is no central examiner or art unit to provide a consistent baseline.
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.
