Leddartech Inc. currently manages a patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company faces 3 pending office actions, which are all being processed within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the applications are technically similar, they are being reviewed as separate matters.
The prosecution is distributed among 3 distinct examiners, with each examiner handling a different application. NOEL, JEMPSON is listed as the busiest examiner, though they are responsible for only 1 pending office action. This indicates a balanced distribution of the 3 pending office actions across the 3 distinct examiners involved.
The concentration of 3 pending office actions within 1 distinct art unit allows for a consistent technical focus. However, the involvement of 3 distinct examiners means the company must address different sets of examiner preferences. NOEL, JEMPSON's role in managing 1 pending office action is part of this broader prosecution effort in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
