E2Interactive Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that the portfolio's prosecution is not concentrated under a single individual. This distribution requires the practitioner to manage multiple examiner relationships simultaneously.
The portfolio also involves 3 distinct art units. The presence of 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's patent applications cover a variety of technical subjects within the transportation and e-commerce sectors. Each art unit may have its own procedural nuances, requiring a flexible approach to prosecution across the different pending matters.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is ANDERSON, SCOTT C, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. Since this 1 pending office action is a portion of the total active cases, the workload is spread among the 3 distinct examiners. Practitioners should tailor their strategies to ANDERSON, SCOTT C while also addressing the requirements of the other examiners involved in the 3 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
