Ceraloc Innovation AB has 4 pending office actions currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are divided between 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's mechanical innovations span different specialized classifications. The prosecution of these matters involves 4 distinct examiners, which means each pending action is being reviewed by a different official.
WOLLSCHLAGER, JEFFREY MICHAEL is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Given that there are 4 distinct examiners for the 4 pending office actions, the workload is distributed across the patent office staff. Practitioners must be prepared to manage separate examiner perspectives across the 2 distinct art units. This level of distribution for 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area requires a versatile approach to address the unique feedback from each of the 4 distinct examiners. The use of 2 distinct art units indicates a level of technical diversity in their current filings.
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.
