Interaxon Inc. maintains 6 pending office actions focused in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These cases are distributed across 4 distinct art units, reflecting a moderate level of technical diversity in their patent filings. The prosecution involves 6 distinct examiners, which matches the total number of active matters. This indicates that every case is being handled by a different individual, preventing any single examiner from having an outsized influence on the portfolio.
GIESY, ADAM is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Since there are distinct examiners for the pending office actions, the company must navigate different sets of examiner preferences. The spread across 4 distinct art units suggests that while the cases fall under a single technology area, they are being evaluated by multiple specialized groups. This distribution requires a strategy that accounts for different examiner personalities and art unit environments. The company's pending office actions are thus subject to a wide variety of perspectives within the patent office.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
