Fireblocks Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending case is handled by a different individual. The prosecution is also split across 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the company's current applications in this technology area are diverse enough to be categorized into 2 separate examination groups at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is SHERR, MARIA CRISTI OWEN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This represents 1 of the 2 total pending actions for the company. Since each of the 2 distinct examiners is managing 1 pending action, the workload is evenly distributed. Practitioners must navigate the specific requirements of 2 different examiners and 2 separate art units. This distribution indicates that the pending matters in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems involve distinct technical elements requiring different examiner expertise.
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.
