Technology area: Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems
4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Avatarin Inc. currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. SHANG, ANNAN Q is the busiest examiner, handling 1 pending office action. Because the 4 pending office actions are concentrated in only 2 distinct art units, the company likely faces consistent prior art landscapes.
However, with 4 distinct examiners involved, the company must still navigate 4 different individual perspectives. Practitioners should look for common themes in the rejections issued within the 2 distinct art units. The lack of examiner concentration means that outcomes in one matter are unlikely to be influenced by the same examiner's perspective on another pending case, despite the shared art units.
The presence of 2 distinct art units for 4 pending office actions suggests a focused technical area, yet the 4 distinct examiners will each bring their own perspective. Counsel should be prepared for 4 different sets of examination styles. Without shared examiners, there is little opportunity to apply lessons learned from one case to the others in the current portfolio, requiring a tailored approach for each of the 4 pending office actions.
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.
