Ishikawa Energy Research Co. Ltd. currently maintains 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution workload is evenly distributed across 4 distinct examiners and an equal number of distinct art units. This one to one ratio between pending actions and examiners suggests a lack of concentration in specific patent offices or examiner groups, requiring the company to navigate diverse examination styles simultaneously.
DAPINDER SINGH is the busiest examiner associated with the portfolio, yet this individual is responsible for only 1 pending office action. Because the pending office actions are spread across the distinct art units, the company must address a wide variety of technical standards and procedural nuances. The absence of multiple actions under a single examiner like DAPINDER SINGH prevents the use of consolidated negotiation strategies for this specific set of filings. Each of the pending office actions represents a unique interaction with one of the distinct examiners, necessitating a tailored approach for every matter in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (100%) |
