H2 Clipper Inc. maintains 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct art units and distinct examiners, showing no overlap in the personnel or administrative units reviewing the current portfolio. This separation of matters suggests that each application is being evaluated on its own merits without direct interaction between the assigned examiners.
EDMONDS, DONALD J is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. With the current office actions in total, the company's prosecution footprint is specific in its assignments. The use of distinct examiners across the assigned art units ensures that the company's technology is being viewed through different lenses at the patent office, even with a limited number of active cases.
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.
