L'Garde Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio is characterized by a complete lack of concentration, as the 3 pending actions are spread across a matching number of distinct examiners. This distribution requires the company to manage multiple separate examiner relationships simultaneously, each potentially having different procedural expectations.
Furthermore, these actions are located in 3 distinct art units, indicating that each pending application is being reviewed by a different technical group within the patent office. The busiest examiner, RASHID, HARUNUR, holds only 1 pending office action. This data profile suggests that L'Garde Inc. is pursuing diverse technological paths within its sector, as each of its active cases is being handled by a unique examiner in a unique art unit. The company must maintain a versatile advocacy strategy to address the requirements of these different technical departments.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
