Inter IKEA Systems B.V. is currently navigating 12 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 12 distinct examiners, showing a broad spread of oversight across the portfolio. The prosecution activity spans 7 distinct art units, which reflects a diverse range of technical subject matter being pursued by the company in this sector.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is GRABOWSKI, KYLE ROBERT, who is currently handling 1 of the pending office actions. With 12 pending office actions and 12 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly distributed, as no single examiner is managing more than one case. This lack of concentration means that the 7 distinct art units are being addressed by a wide variety of individual perspectives at the patent office.
For practitioners, the 12 pending office actions across 7 distinct art units indicate that Inter IKEA Systems B.V. is active in multiple sub-sectors of Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Since GRABOWSKI, KYLE ROBERT only manages 1 pending office action, the influence of any single examiner on the total portfolio is limited. The 12 distinct examiners provide a broad sample of examination trends across the 7 distinct art units involved in these proceedings.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 3 (23%) |
| §102 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (62%) |
