Calmwave Inc. has 17 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 12 distinct art units. This wide distribution across 12 art units for 17 actions indicates that the company's technology is being evaluated under many different specialized classification systems at the patent office.
There are 17 distinct examiners assigned to these matters. CRIBBS, MALCOLM is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. Every pending action is being handled by a different examiner, reflecting a highly distributed prosecution workload. This ratio of 1 examiner per action ensures that no single examiner has a dominant influence over the company's 17 current pending matters.
The presence of 17 examiners for 17 pending actions across 12 art units highlights a very decentralized prosecution landscape. For a practitioner, this means that each of the 17 actions likely requires a tailored approach, as the lack of examiner overlap prevents the application of a uniform strategy. The company must be prepared to navigate 17 different examination styles across the 12 art units involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 13 (76%) |
| §103 only | 2 (12%) |
