Australian Droid & Robot Pty Ltd. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This outstanding matter is assigned to a distinct examiner, MARC R BURGESS, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending action. The concentration of work in a distinct art unit suggests a highly specialized focus for the current prosecution cycle.
Practitioners should note that the entire pending portfolio is handled by MARC R BURGESS, making this individual's specific examination style the primary factor in the company's immediate patent outcomes. Because only a distinct examiner is involved, there is no diversification of examiner perspectives across the office actions currently active. This lack of variety across the art unit simplifies the tracking of examiner behavior for this portfolio, as all results stem from the same source at the patent office.
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.
