Intin Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners, which suggests that the company is pursuing distinct patent applications simultaneously. Despite the variety of examiners, all filings are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a specific technical focus for the company's innovations.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is ROYSTON, JOHN M, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution shows that the 3 pending office actions are split among the 3 distinct examiners, with each examiner managing a case. For practitioners, this means that while the art unit remains constant, the company must navigate different examiner perspectives within that 1 distinct art unit. The pending office actions represent a portion of the active docket in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
