Technology area: Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems
8 pending office actions • 6 art units • 8 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 20 patents granted in the last 365 days
Jetzero Inc. is currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area, where it manages 8 pending office actions. This workload is distributed across 8 distinct examiners, which ensures that each pending matter is evaluated by a different individual. The prosecution activity is further spread across 6 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's technical filings cover several specialized classifications within the transportation and mechanical systems field.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is SHUR, STEVEN JAMES, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that no single examiner holds a majority of the company's active cases, as each of the 8 pending office actions is assigned to a different professional. For patent practitioners, this variety across examiners and 6 distinct art units necessitates a versatile approach to prosecution, as each matter will likely face different procedural expectations. The alignment between the number of pending actions and distinct examiners highlights a highly decentralized prosecution environment for the current portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (50%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
