BAHCESEHIR UNIVERSITESI currently has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. While there are 2 distinct examiners involved, the actions are housed within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a consistent technical focus for these pending matters. This concentration in 1 art unit may allow for a more unified technical argument even as the company navigates the preferences of multiple examiners.
The busiest examiner, SHIAO, YIH-HORNG, is handling 1 pending office action. With a total of 2 pending office actions, the workload is split between different examiners. The fact that multiple examiners are operating within a single art unit provides an opportunity to compare examiner behaviors within the same technical group. Prosecution strategy should focus on resolving the pending actions by addressing the specific concerns of SHIAO, YIH-HORNG and the other assigned examiner to ensure consistent results across the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
