Agro Innovation International is managing 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner in a different administrative unit.
CLERKLEY, DANIELLE A is the busiest examiner for the company, currently holding 1 pending action. Given that there are 3 distinct examiners in total, the workload is spread, with no single examiner managing more than 1 pending action. This variety requires the company to adapt its prosecution tactics to the specific styles of different individuals.
The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests a range of technical applications within the broader transportation and mechanical systems category. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate the unique requirements of separate art units simultaneously to resolve the pending matters.
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.
