Technology area: Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems
3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Gustomsc B V has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both contained within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a focused technical review process. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit means that the company's current filings are being evaluated under a single set of technical guidelines despite the involvement of multiple examiners.
The busiest examiner, SOTO, HENRIX, handles 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners for the 2 total pending actions, each examiner is responsible for exactly one matter within the single art unit. For a practitioner, this indicates that while the technical focus is narrow, the company must still adapt to the individual styles of 2 different examiners. The reliance on 1 distinct art unit for the 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector simplifies the administrative tracking but requires a strategy that addresses the specific preferences of the 2 examiners involved.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
