Florida Power & Light Company currently has 6 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are being handled by 6 distinct examiners, which matches the count of 6 distinct art units involved in the portfolio. This one-to-one ratio between examiners and art units suggests a highly diversified prosecution strategy across different technical specialties within the broader technology area.
ORTEGA, JOSEPH is the busiest examiner, accounting for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 6 distinct examiners, each individual is responsible for exactly 1 case. The presence of 6 distinct art units further emphasizes the breadth of the company's current patenting activities. Practitioners can expect to interact with a different examiner and art unit for every active matter currently on record. The 1 busiest examiner pending action held by ORTEGA, JOSEPH illustrates that no individual examiner has a disproportionate influence on the company's pending outcomes.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.
