Jani International Pte. Ltd. focuses its patent prosecution in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions under review. These 3 pending office actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each active matter is assigned to a different individual.
The prosecution footprint extends across 3 distinct art units. This ratio between pending office actions, examiners, and art units indicates that the company's current filings are technically distinct enough to require review from different specialized groups. Katherine Anne Kloecker is listed as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action.
For practitioners, the use of 3 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units for the 3 pending office actions suggests a lack of concentration in the current portfolio. Katherine Anne Kloecker's involvement in 1 pending office action is representative of the distribution of work. The company's transportation-related innovations are currently being evaluated by separate entities within the patent office structure.
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) | 3 (100%) |
