Avidbots Corp currently has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, indicating that each matter is being reviewed by a different person. The portfolio is active in 2 distinct art units, showing some technical concentration within the broader transportation and mechanical fields. This distribution suggests that while the number of pending actions is small, the company is engaging with multiple examination groups.
YOUNG, TIFFANY P is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. With only 3 pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly distributed across the 3 distinct examiners. Practitioners should note that the 2 distinct art units involved may have different examination standards. The parity between the number of actions and the number of examiners highlights a decentralized prosecution for these matters. This administrative spread requires practitioners to be adaptable to the specific preferences of each of the distinct examiners involved.
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 + other | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
