Agco Do Brasil Soluções Agrícolas Ltda is managing 7 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 7 actions are being reviewed by 7 distinct examiners, indicating that no two pending cases share the same examiner. This distribution suggests a variety of mechanical innovations that are being examined independently. The 7 pending office actions represent a fragmented prosecution landscape.
The portfolio is active across 4 distinct art units, which provides some level of technical concentration despite the variety of examiners. PEZZUTO, ROBERT ERIC is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. This reflects the fact that all 7 pending office actions are distributed one per examiner. The 4 distinct art units suggest that the company's innovations are categorized into a few related technical clusters.
Practitioners working with this portfolio must adapt to 7 different examination styles across the 7 pending office actions. However, the 4 distinct art units suggest that the technology falls into a few related groups. The presence of 7 distinct examiners for only 7 pending office actions means that the company's prosecution experience is highly fragmented at this time. Strategy should focus on the 4 distinct art units to find common procedural ground among the 7 distinct examiners.
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.
