Ikea Supply AG is managing 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are split among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This indicates that each of the 3 pending office actions is undergoing a separate examination process in a different technical department. The company's current prosecution is fully distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units.
ING, MATTHEW W is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This examiner is responsible for one-third of the 3 pending office actions currently active for the company. Since each of the 3 distinct examiners is handling exactly one action, the workload is balanced, and no single examiner has a dominant influence over the 3 pending office actions.
For the practitioner, the spread across 3 distinct art units and 3 distinct examiners within Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems means that prosecution must be tailored to three different sets of examiner expectations. There is no administrative overlap between the 3 pending office actions, requiring a case-by-case approach to each filing. Maintaining consistency across the 3 pending office actions is essential, even though they are being reviewed by 3 distinct examiners in 3 distinct art units.
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.
