J-QuAD DYNAMICS Inc. is managing 14 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 12 distinct examiners. These examiners are organized within 4 distinct art units, which indicates a relatively focused technical scope despite the number of individual examiners involved. The company must navigate the perspectives of many different officials while operating within a limited number of technical groups to resolve its 14 active matters.
KHALED, ABDALLA A is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 3 pending office actions currently under review. While this examiner holds 3 actions, the remaining pending office actions are spread among the other distinct examiners within the total of 12 distinct examiners. This distribution means that the company must address the specific requirements of many different individuals. The presence of 4 distinct art units suggests that multiple applications are being reviewed within the same specialized technical environments. Practitioners should prioritize consistency in their arguments to ensure a unified approach to the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 4 (27%) |
| §103 only | 4 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (13%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (33%) |
