Cnh Industrial Brasil Ltda currently has 9 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 9 distinct examiners, resulting in a ratio of one examiner per pending action. The portfolio is active across 7 distinct art units, which suggests some examiners are grouped within the same administrative units.
HARCOURT, BRAD is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Since every examiner in the portfolio manages exactly 1 pending action, the prosecution strategy is highly diversified across the 9 distinct examiners. This structure means the company must manage 7 distinct art unit environments to resolve its current pending matters, requiring a broad administrative approach.
For the practitioner, the lack of concentration under any single examiner means that outcomes are subject to the varied perspectives of 9 different individuals. However, the 7 distinct art units provide some level of administrative grouping that may be useful for predicting procedural trends. Success for these 9 pending office actions depends on a tailored strategy for each unique examiner and unit combination.
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 | 4 (44%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (56%) |
