Genesee Valley Innovations LLC maintains a portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area with 13 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 13 distinct examiners, indicating that every pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This high level of examiner diversity suggests a broad range of technical subject matter within the portfolio.
The prosecution is spread across 12 distinct art units, which is a high degree of fragmentation for a portfolio of this size. MEHTA, RATISHA is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 pending office action. With a busiest examiner pending count of 1, the 13 pending office actions are perfectly distributed across the 13 distinct examiners, meaning no single examiner has a concentrated influence over the portfolio.
For a practitioner, managing 13 pending office actions across 12 distinct art units requires a highly decentralized strategy. Each of the 13 distinct examiners will likely bring a unique perspective and set of prior art to their respective cases. The lack of concentration in any single art unit means that the company must be prepared to navigate the specific procedural nuances of nearly a dozen different examination groups simultaneously.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 8 (62%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (38%) |
