Bgc Partners L P is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These cases are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This indicates that each application is being reviewed independently in a different technical division of the patent office. Practitioners must adapt their strategies to the 3 distinct art units' specific guidelines while managing 3 separate examiner interactions.
JOSHI, SURAJ M is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. With 3 distinct examiners each handling 1 pending office action, the company's prosecution is not concentrated under any one individual. The variety of 3 distinct art units involved suggests that the applications cover different facets of the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. Practitioners should implement a tailored approach for each of the 3 pending office actions to ensure successful outcomes. This decentralized structure requires careful coordination to maintain consistency across the portfolio.
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 only | 1 (33%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (33%) |
