Government of the United States of America, As Represented By the Secretary of Commerce has 5 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are distributed across 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, so each reported action occupies a separate examination assignment.
PETTITT, JOHN F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can manage the docket through individual application review, with no stated examiner or art-unit concentration.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (83%) |
