Technology area: Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Hrb Innovations Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This total dispersion across multiple examiners and units suggests a diverse range of technologies or a strategy that touches on several different examination groups within the USPTO.
HUDSON, MARLA LAVETTE is the busiest examiner, handling 1 pending office action. Because each of the 3 pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner and a different art unit, the company must manage three separate prosecution tracks simultaneously. This lack of overlap among the examiners means that there is no central point of contact for the portfolio. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the specific standards of each of the 3 distinct art units involved.
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.
