Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation is currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area with 2 pending office actions. This activity level indicates an ongoing effort to expand its intellectual property in this field. The 2 pending office actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, which provides a distribution of the workload across different individuals at the patent office.
The cases are also assigned to 2 distinct art units. This means that the company's Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems innovations are being reviewed under the specific guidelines of 2 different administrative groups. TESTARDI, DAVID A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action.
Because TESTARDI, DAVID A is responsible for 1 of the 2 pending office actions, the company's success depends on the decisions of multiple examiners. Practitioners should be prepared to adapt their strategies to the different styles of the 2 distinct examiners. The outcome of the 2 pending office actions will be determined by how well the company addresses the specific concerns raised within each of the 2 distinct art units.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 2 (67%) |
