3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Kaikutek Inc. manages a patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. There are 3 pending office actions currently active for this portfolio. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing a single pending application.
Despite the involvement of 3 distinct examiners, all prosecution activity is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the individual examiners differ, the technical subject matter of the 3 pending office actions is closely related enough to fall under the same administrative unit. CASSI J GALT is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action.
The data shows that the 3 pending office actions are evenly distributed, as the busiest examiner, CASSI J GALT, is responsible for only 1 action. The focus on 1 distinct art unit within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area provides a consistent technical environment for the portfolio's current prosecution efforts. Practitioners must manage 3 distinct examiners while benefiting from the technical consistency of a single art unit.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
