East Coast Ip LLC is managing 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for one matter. This split requires the company to address the specific requirements of two different examiners simultaneously, as each of the 2 pending office actions is reviewed by a different individual.
The 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's current matters fall into different technical or administrative categories. DAVIS, CASSANDRA HOPE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. This distribution across 2 distinct examiners and 2 art units for only 2 actions shows a lack of concentration in the company's current prosecution efforts. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate two different art unit environments while addressing the specific requirements of each assigned examiner.
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.
