Florida Atlantic University Board of Trustees has 7 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket spans 7 examiners and 7 art units, indicating a fully distributed prosecution profile.
N'DURE, AMIE MERCEDES is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner or art unit provides a central coordination point, so counsel should manage each application separately while preserving consistent portfolio positions.
The one-to-one distribution supports matter-specific review of claim scope, prior art, and procedural status. Portfolio-level oversight remains useful for identifying common technical themes, but examiner-specific strategy will be required throughout.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 4 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (40%) |
