Astra Navigation, Inc. currently manages 7 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 7 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units. The presence of these 7 pending office actions shows the current volume of activity for this entity. Practitioners should note the distribution across the 7 distinct art units, which involves different examination environments. The coordination of responses across different technical centers is a key consideration for the legal team.
GALT, CASSI J is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. While the company workload involves 7 distinct examiners, this specific official is responsible for 1 matter. This distribution suggests that the innovations are being evaluated by different groups within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. Having 7 distinct examiners involved means that the prosecution strategy must account for the individual tendencies of various officials. Each examiner may bring a different perspective to the claims, requiring a specific approach for every individual case file.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (57%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
