3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Aetech Corporation is managing 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 3 actions is assigned to a different person, resulting in 3 distinct examiners for the portfolio. All 3 actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, showing a high degree of technical concentration at the group level.
GARCIA, PAULO ANDRES is the busiest examiner for the company, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. This indicates that while the company's applications are concentrated in a single art unit, they are being reviewed by 3 different individuals within that group. Because there are 3 actions and 3 distinct examiners, no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio. The company must manage its prosecution strategy to account for the individual perspectives of 3 different examiners even though all matters are being handled within the same art unit.
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 |

| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
