Jabil Inc. has 16 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 11 distinct art units. The company interacts with 16 distinct examiners. The 11 distinct art units indicate that the company's 16 active matters span a wide range of technical categories within the transportation and mechanical systems field.
SOHANA T KHAYER is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. With 16 pending office actions and 16 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split with one action per examiner. This means that for every one of the 16 pending office actions, the company is dealing with a different individual. For a practitioner, this high number of 16 distinct examiners means that prosecution strategies must be highly individualized, as there is no opportunity to leverage a relationship with a single examiner across the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 only | 2 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (29%) |
| §103 only | 4 (24%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (35%) |
