Intrado Life & Safety Inc. manages a portfolio in the Communications technology area with 6 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that while the company faces multiple actions, they are not concentrated under a single examiner, though they are limited to a small number of art units. The presence of multiple art units suggests the portfolio covers several specific sub-sectors within the communications field.
MICHELE CAMILLE DOUGLAS is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, handling 2 pending office actions. This represents a portion of the 6 total pending office actions for the company. The presence of 5 distinct examiners for 6 actions suggests that most examiners are handling individual matters, with the exception of the busiest examiner who manages 2. This distribution requires a strategy that accounts for 5 different examiner personalities while navigating the 3 distinct art units.
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%) |
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
