Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. is currently navigating 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating a slightly varied technical scope for the company's pending applications. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending action is currently being reviewed by a different official at the patent office. This structure suggests that the company's e-commerce and mechanical systems filings are receiving individual attention from multiple examiners.
TRAN, TRI MINH is designated as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action under their supervision. With 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the company maintains a diverse set of examiner interactions. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations in the transportation and e-commerce sectors are being evaluated by multiple specialized groups. This distribution of actions among examiners may provide the company with varied perspectives on their patent claims during the prosecution process, as no single examiner holds more than the 1 action assigned to the busiest examiner.
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.
