Invisalert Solutions Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, which indicates a distributed prosecution strategy. This spread suggests that the company's prosecution results are influenced by different individual examiner perspectives rather than a concentrated group.
The workload is situated within 1 distinct art unit. This presence in 1 unit highlights the technical focus of the portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. Navigating a single art unit allows the company to address the specific examination standards and technical expertise of one administrative section at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is POPE, DARYL C, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Even with this designation, the 1 pending action represents a portion of the total workload. This ensures that the company's overall patent strategy remains diversified across the 2 distinct examiners identified in the data, preventing any individual's backlog from stalling the entire portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
