Etiometry Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner. Consequently, the prosecution is also contained within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration of 2 pending actions under 1 examiner suggests a centralized prosecution process for the company's mechanical systems applications. The use of 1 art unit ensures that the technical review remains within a specific specialized group.
BALAJ, ANTHONY MICHAEL is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 2 pending office actions currently assigned. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 2, this individual is responsible for the company's entire pending workload. For a patent practitioner, this means that the prosecution strategy must be focused on the specific preferences and examination style of this examiner. The lack of other distinct examiners or art units simplifies the coordination of responses for the pending actions.
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.
