Carbon Autonomous Robotic Systems Inc. currently manages 6 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units relative to the 6 pending office actions. This spread suggests that the company's technology is being evaluated across several different technical niches within the security sector.
DEIRDRE L BEASLEY is the busiest examiner for the company, overseeing 2 pending office actions. The remaining pending actions are handled by other distinct examiners, indicating that most of the company's matters are receiving independent reviews. This distribution across the 6 pending office actions limits the impact that any individual examiner has on the overall portfolio.
With 4 distinct art units involved, the prosecution team must navigate a variety of departmental standards. The distribution of 5 distinct examiners highlights a decentralized environment, where only the busiest examiner is handling more than a single case for the company at this time.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
