Estorm Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution can provide the company with a variety of perspectives on their patent applications, as each of the 3 pending office actions is handled independently.
The 3 pending office actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing a high degree of technical dispersion for a small number of actions. WANG, CHAO is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 pending office action. This one-to-one ratio of actions to art units and examiners suggests that each of the company's current matters is being handled in a unique administrative and technical context. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate three different art unit environments while addressing the specific requirements of 3 distinct examiners.
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.
