Cetres Holdings LLC has 8 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. These matters are handled by 6 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. TRAN, PHI DIEU is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters, making that examiner relationship the clearest point of concentration in the reported docket.
The difference between pending matters and examiner assignments indicates that some examination relationships cover more than one matter. The two-art-unit structure also creates an opportunity to organize responses by technical grouping while preserving application-specific arguments. Counsel should coordinate the two matters before TRAN, PHI DIEU closely, then use the broader art-unit record to identify consistent terminology and recurring claim issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
