Assa Abloy New Zealand Limited holds a company patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio's active prosecution consists of 1 pending office action. This action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, SIDKY, YAHYA I, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The prosecution is limited to 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a specific focus within the broader technology area.
With 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the portfolio's current interaction with the USPTO is highly centralized. For a patent practitioner, this means that the 1 pending office action is the only active matter requiring attention. SIDKY, YAHYA I is the sole examiner involved, so the prosecution strategy is entirely dependent on his review. The 1 distinct art unit indicates that the technology falls into a specific category within Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. This narrow focus suggests that the portfolio is not currently pursuing a broad range of diverse technologies.
The 1 pending office action is the single point of progress for the portfolio at this time. Managing this one action effectively is the primary task for the portfolio's legal team, as there are no other active examiners or art units to consider. Practitioners can tailor their arguments specifically to the preferences of SIDKY, YAHYA I. While this concentration simplifies the prosecution process, it also means that the portfolio lacks the risk mitigation provided by having matters distributed across multiple examiners or art units.
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.
