Etiometry Inc. currently faces 5 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. This structure shows a moderate level of concentration, as the 5 pending office actions are not spread thinly across a large number of individuals. The prosecution strategy likely centers on the 3 distinct art units where these mechanical and e-commerce filings are situated.
The busiest examiner, BALAJ, ANTHONY MICHAEL, is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This means BALAJ, ANTHONY MICHAEL handles a significant share of the 5 pending office actions compared to the other 2 distinct examiners. With 2 pending office actions assigned to a single examiner, the outcome of those specific cases will heavily influence the overall success rate. The 3 distinct art units involved indicate that the portfolio touches on multiple facets of Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Coordination across the 3 distinct examiners is essential for maintaining a unified patent strategy.
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.
