Dunamu Inc. operates a patent portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. There are currently 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners associated with this portfolio. These actions are distributed across a matching number of distinct art units. This means that each pending action is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different technical department.
The busiest examiner for Dunamu Inc. is RANKINS, WILLIAM E, who is managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since the total number of pending office actions is distributed among the examiners, each handles 1 action. The involvement of distinct art units indicates that the company's filings in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area are diverse. This requires the company to manage separate prosecution tracks simultaneously. Each pending office action represents a unique interaction with a different part of the patent office. The company's approach must be flexible enough to address the requirements of these different technical groups simultaneously.
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.
