Argo AI LLC maintains a company patent portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently features 3 pending office actions. These actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, showing that each matter is being reviewed independently. Furthermore, the prosecution is spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating that the company's technical focus in transportation and mechanical systems is relatively broad.
The busiest examiner for this entity is MARI VALCARCEL, FERNANDO MARIANO, who handles 1 busiest examiner pending action. This 1 busiest examiner pending action is 1 of the 3 total pending office actions currently facing the company. Since there are 3 distinct examiners, no single individual manages a majority of the pending workload. This distribution across 3 distinct art units means that the company must adapt to various procedural nuances within the USPTO.
For a practitioner, the presence of 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners suggests a diversified prosecution risk. The 1 busiest examiner pending action assigned to MARI VALCARCEL, FERNANDO MARIANO represents a balanced portion of the overall activity. Managing 3 distinct art units requires a flexible approach to the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. This company patent portfolio benefits from multiple points of contact at the USPTO, ensuring that its 3 pending office actions are not subject to a single examiner's bias.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
