Beta Air LLC currently manages 16 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 11 distinct art units, indicating a broad technological footprint for its patent applications. The prosecution workload involves 15 distinct examiners, suggesting that the company faces a diverse range of examination styles and requirements across its pending matters.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is TORRES RUIZ, JOHALI ALEJANDRA, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This concentration is relatively low given the total of 16 pending office actions, which implies that the prosecution strategy is not heavily dependent on the outcomes from a single examiner. Practitioners should prepare for varied feedback across the 11 distinct art units involved in these filings. The presence of 15 distinct examiners means that the company must maintain a flexible approach to satisfy the specific preferences of a large group of patent office officials.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (19%) |
| §103 only | 5 (31%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (25%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
