Lambda:4 Entwicklungen GmbH manages 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. EDRADA, ISABELLA AMEYALI is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The distribution of actions among the examiners suggests that each application is receiving a unique perspective.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates the technology spans multiple examination specialties within the broader transportation and mechanical category. Practitioners should note that each case is being reviewed by a different individual, requiring a flexible approach to prosecution. This variety in personnel and art units requires the applicant to be familiar with the specific practices of multiple divisions. Managing these 3 pending office actions simultaneously requires attention to the specific nuances of each assigned group. The presence of multiple art units ensures that the company's innovations are evaluated from different specialized viewpoints.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
