Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. Kg is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's current prosecution workload is spread across several individuals, with the number of pending office actions being equal to the number of distinct examiners and the number of distinct art units.
The busiest examiner for the company is MCGOWAN, JAMIE LOUISE, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, each examiner is managing exactly 1 matter. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that each of the company's patent filings in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems is being reviewed by a different technical group at the USPTO. This spread across 3 distinct art units and 3 distinct examiners requires a prosecution strategy that can adapt to different examiner styles while navigating multiple specialized departments within the patent office.
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.
