Deepwell Dtx is currently navigating 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company's prosecution is divided, with 2 distinct examiners and distinct art units involved in the review process. This ratio of actions to examiners and art units suggests that each application is being treated as a separate technical and administrative entity without overlap. The pending office actions represent the current breadth of the company's engagement with the patent office.
MARY EVANGELINE BARR is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. With the pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly split between the distinct examiners. Practitioners should be prepared for distinct procedural experiences across the distinct art units, as the lack of centralization may lead to different examination timelines or prior art interpretations. Because there are distinct examiners and art units, the company cannot rely on a shared point of contact or a unified administrative standard. This requires a multi-track strategy to address the specific requirements of each pending matter within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
