Intrinsic Innovation LLC has 8 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 8 distinct examiners, which results in each action being assigned to a different individual. This distribution suggests that the company's legal team is interacting with a variety of individual examination styles simultaneously. Practitioners managing these 8 pending office actions must adapt to 8 distinct examiners.
The prosecution work spans 6 distinct art units, showing the organizational reach within the patent office for the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. NATHAN DANIEL NECKEL is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is spread across the 8 distinct examiners. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner holds a larger share of the company's 8 pending office actions than any other, ensuring that 8 distinct examiners each review a case.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (12%) |
| §103 only | 3 (38%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
