Gary W Clem Inc. is currently addressing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct examiners and a matching number of art units, indicating that each pending matter is being handled by a different specialist. This distribution suggests that the company's innovations touch on different technical aspects of the transportation or mechanical sectors. Practitioners should be prepared to adapt their arguments to the specific requirements of the assigned examiners.
The busiest examiner for the company is MAYO, TARA LEIGH, who oversees 1 pending office action. Because there are multiple examiners for the pending actions, the prosecution responsibility is divided. MAYO, TARA LEIGH is responsible for 1 pending office action, while the remaining action is handled by another specialist. This lack of examiner overlap means that the pending office actions will likely proceed on independent timelines. Monitoring the distinct art units will provide insight into the different examination standards being applied to the portfolio.
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.
