Homewav LLC has 3 pending office actions located in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, showing some administrative variety in where the applications are reviewed. The portfolio involves 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is currently assigned to a different individual. This spread across the administrative divisions suggests that the company's mechanical and e-commerce innovations are being evaluated by multiple specialized groups within the office.
LUDWIG, PETER L is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action under their supervision. Although there are 3 distinct examiners involved, the workload is evenly distributed as evidenced by the busiest examiner only having 1 pending action. The presence of 3 pending office actions across multiple individuals means that the company must manage three separate examination styles simultaneously. This distribution requires a strategy that accounts for the different perspectives of each examiner while navigating the 2 distinct art units involved in the process.
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%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
