Hexagon AB currently has 12 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio is widely dispersed, involving 11 distinct examiners and 10 distinct art units. This suggests that the company's innovations are technically diverse and do not cluster in a single area of examination. ARNTZEN, MARY ANNE ELIZABETH is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions under her review.
The involvement of 11 distinct examiners for 12 pending actions means that the company has very little examiner overlap. This requires the legal team to prepare for 11 different sets of examiner preferences and technical interpretations. The 10 distinct art units further indicate that the 12 pending actions cover a broad technical range. ARNTZEN, MARY ANNE ELIZABETH, as the busiest examiner with 2 pending actions, is the only individual handling more than one case for Hexagon AB at this time.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 5 (42%) |
| §112 only | 2 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (25%) |
