Diabeloop currently faces 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that the company must address different sets of examiner expectations. This distribution prevents any single examiner from dominating the prosecution of the current pending portfolio. Each examiner likely focuses on different aspects of the mechanical systems involved.
The pending office actions are located within 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the technical scope of the applications is somewhat focused. RAPILLO, KRISTINE K is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Since each of the distinct examiners has a single pending action, the workload is evenly spread across the assigned patent office personnel. This requires managing 2 different art unit environments for the cases, which may involve different internal policies or timelines.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
