Brex Inc. currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners. The prosecution spans 4 distinct art units, reflecting the technical distribution of the company's Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems filings. This distribution across 4 distinct art units indicates that the company's active matters are subject to the specific standards of those assigned art units at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is JACOB, WILLIAM J, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This count of 1 pending office action for the busiest examiner is part of the total 4 pending office actions. With 4 distinct examiners involved, practitioners managing this portfolio must coordinate across individual examiner preferences. The fact that JACOB, WILLIAM J handles this workload highlights the distribution of the current prosecution pipeline. This requires a strategy that accounts for the requirements of the 4 distinct examiners across the 4 distinct art units.
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.
