Given Imaging Ltd. has 6 pending office actions currently active within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 6 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This distribution requires the company to navigate 6 unique sets of examiner preferences and prosecution hurdles simultaneously.
The portfolio's 6 pending office actions are distributed across 5 distinct art units, showing that the company's work in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems is recognized across several different technical classifications at the patent office. ALAM, FAYYAZ is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since each of the 6 distinct examiners is responsible for exactly one action, the influence of the busiest examiner is no greater than any other individual involved. Practitioners must therefore develop 6 separate strategies to address the specific concerns of each examiner across the 5 involved art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
