Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation currently has 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This parity between the 5 pending office actions and the number of examiners indicates a decentralized prosecution environment. Each of the matters is being reviewed by a unique examiner in a unique art unit. This structure requires the company to maintain separate prosecution strategies simultaneously.
SINAKI, ARFAN Y is the busiest examiner, though this individual is responsible for only 1 pending office action. With the distinct examiners and the distinct art units involved, the company must navigate different sets of examiner preferences and art unit norms. The 1 pending office action represents a part of a diverse range of interactions within the specified technology area. This lack of concentration means that the workload is not subject to the influence of any examiner. Managing the distinct examiners requires a high degree of coordination to ensure consistent results across the pending office actions.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 2 (50%) |
