Bullish Global has 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 4 actions is assigned to a different person, resulting in 4 distinct examiners for the portfolio. These matters are spread across 3 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's filings are reviewed by several different technical groups at the USPTO. The distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests that the 4 pending office actions cover a variety of specific mechanical or e-commerce applications.
Jeffery A Brier is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending office action. Because there are 4 distinct examiners for the 4 total actions, there is no overlap in examiner assignments. The 3 distinct art units involved show that the 4 pending office actions are distributed across multiple specialized units. This structure requires the company to navigate 4 different individual examination styles. Practitioners should develop unique strategies for each of the 4 pending office actions to address the specific feedback from each assigned examiner within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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.
