Ecovacs Robotics Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating separate examiner assignments with some shared examination-group coverage.
RAILEY, JENNIFER A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner carries more than the single matter reflected in that assignment. Counsel should coordinate claim terminology and technical positions across the portfolio while tailoring responses to each examiner and monitoring issues recurring within the shared art unit.
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.
