Kateeva Inc. manages 7 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 7 actions are distributed among 7 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is under review by a different individual. The prosecution spans 2 distinct art units, showing a focused range of technical classifications for the company's applications within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
The busiest examiner, LEGESSE, HENOK D, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 action is part of the total 7 pending office actions for the portfolio. With 7 distinct examiners for the actions, the workload is perfectly distributed, with each examiner handling exactly 1 action. This distribution across 2 distinct art units suggests a decentralized approach to the company's current patent office interactions for its 7 pending office actions.
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 | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
