Axon Enterprise Inc. is managing 11 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio exhibits examiner diversity, with 11 distinct examiners assigned to the matters. This ratio between examiners and actions indicates that no single examiner has multiple matters for the company. Furthermore, these actions are spread across 6 distinct art units, reflecting a variety of technical sub-sectors within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
MICHAEL J JANSEN II is listed as the busiest examiner, though they are currently handling 1 pending office action. Because each distinct examiner holds 1 pending action, the workload is evenly distributed. This lack of concentration across the 11 pending office actions means that prosecution strategies must be developed independently. The 6 distinct art units involved suggest that while the examiners are unique, there is some technical overlap, and the experience with MICHAEL J JANSEN II may not predict outcomes with other examiners.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 5 (50%) |
| §102 only | 3 (30%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (20%) |
