Gardyn Inc. maintains a portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. There are 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. These actions are split between 2 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's innovations span different technical classifications. This distribution requires a strategy that accounts for the different examination practices found in these 2 units.
The company's prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners. ALMATRAHI, SAHAR FARIS is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action under her review. While she is the busiest, her 1 action is only a portion of the 2 total pending office actions. The other action is handled by the second distinct examiner, which suggests that no single individual's viewpoint will entirely dictate the portfolio's progress.
The 2 distinct art units provide a diverse landscape for the 2 pending office actions. Practitioners must manage the expectations of 2 distinct examiners, each potentially applying different nuances to the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems subject matter. ALMATRAHI, SAHAR FARIS's 1 pending office action represents the highest individual workload in this small portfolio.
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.
