3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Dacadoo AG operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions. These actions are assigned to 3 distinct art units, which indicates that the portfolio's current prosecution is spread across different technical groups at the patent office.
There are 3 distinct examiners involved in these cases. The busiest examiner is HIGGS, STELLA EUN, who is handling 1 pending office action. This shows that the 3 pending office actions are distributed evenly among the examiners, with no single examiner managing more than 1 case at this time.
The use of 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units suggests a diverse range of technical subject matter in the pending applications. Practitioners should prepare for different examination styles, as no concentration exists in a single art unit. The current workload of 3 pending office actions requires monitoring across multiple points of contact at the patent office.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (33%) |
