DT Swiss Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are handled by 4 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. ROGERS, ADAM D is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. With 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed so that each examiner handles exactly one case.
The 3 distinct art units involved suggest some departmental concentration, but the company must still navigate the specific requirements of three different groups within the patent office. Practitioners must manage the individual preferences of 4 distinct examiners while coordinating across the 3 distinct art units. This distribution requires a strategy that can adapt to different examiner styles while maintaining consistency in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. The current data shows that no single examiner or art unit dominates the 4 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
