Ferrari S.p.a. has 41 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 40 distinct examiners across 18 distinct art units. DAGER, JONATHAN M is the busiest examiner with 2 busiest examiner pending actions. The 18 distinct art units suggest that the company's mechanical and transportation innovations are distributed across several specialized USPTO groups.
With 40 distinct examiners for the 41 pending office actions, nearly every application is being reviewed by a different person. This distribution requires managing 40 different examiner relationships to resolve the 41 pending office actions. The 2 busiest examiner pending actions assigned to DAGER, JONATHAN M represent a small portion of the total workload. Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences of each examiner to ensure successful outcomes.
The 18 distinct art units indicate that the portfolio touches on several specialized groups within the USPTO. Managing 41 pending office actions across these units requires an understanding of the specific technical standards applied by each group. Because the 40 distinct examiners are spread across 18 distinct art units, there is variety in the technical scrutiny applied to the applications. This structure requires a strategy that accounts for both individual examiner preferences and art unit trends.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 17 (41%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (49%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
