Fisker Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This broad distribution suggests that the company's transportation-related innovations are being reviewed by multiple specialized groups within the patent office, each with its own technical focus and examination criteria.
GOODBODY, JOAN T is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because each of the 3 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner and a different art unit, the company faces a diverse set of prosecution challenges. This requires a multifaceted strategy to address the unique requirements of 3 distinct examiners across 3 separate technical units. Managing these 3 pending office actions involves coordinating responses that satisfy the specific standards of each art unit while ensuring that the overall prosecution goals for the portfolio are met.
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.
