2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
AI International Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This represents a complete concentration of the company's current pending workload under a single point of review, with no diversification across different examiners or art units.
HARP, WILLIAM RAY is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 2 pending office actions. This single examiner is responsible for the entire pending workload currently reported for the portfolio. For practitioners, this means that the outcome of the company's current efforts in the Transportation and Mechanical Systems area depends on the review of HARP, WILLIAM RAY. There is no distribution of matters across other examiners or art units, making this single relationship a critical factor in the portfolio's current prosecution status.
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.
