Idea Prototipi S R L is currently overseeing 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, with each examiner handling one case. The portfolio's activity is spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's mechanical and transportation innovations fall into at least two different specialized categories at the patent office. This distribution shows a balanced prosecution effort across a small number of active matters.
The busiest examiner, MACARTHUR, VICTOR L, is currently managing 1 pending office action, which matches the workload of the other 2 distinct examiners involved. With a total of 3 pending office actions, the company's prosecution strategy is decentralized across different individuals. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company must be mindful of different examination guidelines within the broader transportation domain. Practitioners should note that the 3 pending actions are evenly split among the 3 distinct examiners, requiring a tailored approach for each individual case.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
