DP WORLD LOGISTICS US HOLDINGS, INC. currently manages 6 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These matters are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, suggesting a broad range of individual review styles across the portfolio. The prosecution activity is concentrated within 3 distinct art units, which indicates that multiple examiners are likely operating within the same specialized groups at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the company is BARZEGAR, PEGAH. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates that each of the 6 distinct examiners is likely handling a single action, as the busiest examiner count matches the individual workload of 1 pending office action. This one-to-one ratio between examiners and actions suggests a lack of examiner-level consolidation in the current pipeline.
Practitioners should note the diversity of examiners relative to the number of art units. With 6 distinct examiners working in 3 distinct art units, monitoring individual examiner tendencies is necessary even when cases fall under the same art unit umbrella. The presence of 3 distinct art units suggests a focused technical scope, yet the 6 distinct examiners require a tailored approach for each pending matter.
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 | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
