Bitstrata Systems Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a unique examiner in a unique administrative section of the patent office. For the applicant, this means that successful strategies used in 1 office action may not directly translate to the other, as the examiners and art units operate independently. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners ensures that each matter is evaluated separately.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is GUNN, JEREMY L, who is currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, this examiner's work represents a portion of the active prosecution for the company. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the applications may involve different technical classifications within the transportation and mechanical systems sector. Practitioners must prepare for distinct examination styles, as the 2 distinct examiners will likely apply the specific guidelines of their respective art units without significant cross-pollination of ideas. Managing these 2 pending office actions requires a versatile approach.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
