D3 Innovation Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner. The concentration of the portfolio is further evidenced by its presence in only 1 distinct art unit. CICCHINO, PATRICK D is identified as the busiest examiner for this entity. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. The alignment of 1 distinct examiner with 1 distinct art unit suggests a highly focused prosecution path for the current portfolio.
Practitioners can observe that the entirety of the pending workload rests with a single individual. This creates a direct point of contact for all current patent matters. The limited scope of 1 pending office action indicates a small current footprint in the USPTO system. Because CICCHINO, PATRICK D is the only examiner involved, the prosecution strategy does not need to account for varying examiner behaviors. This centralized structure allows for a very specific and consistent approach to the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The data confirms that 1 distinct art unit contains the full extent of the company's current pending applications.
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.
