LUNIT INC. is actively prosecuting 10 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 10 pending office actions are spread across 7 distinct art units, indicating that the company's patent filings cover several different functional categories. The ratio of 10 pending office actions to 7 distinct art units suggests a relatively high degree of technical variety in their current applications. This distribution allows the company to engage with multiple technical divisions within the patent office simultaneously.
The portfolio is being reviewed by 10 distinct examiners, meaning every pending action is currently assigned to a different individual. SHELDEN, BION A is the busiest examiner, though they only account for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution between the 10 pending office actions and 10 distinct examiners means the company must tailor its responses to the specific preferences of 10 different officials. While this increases the complexity of the prosecution, it also ensures that the company's success in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector is not dependent on any single examiner's decision.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (18%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (27%) |
| §103 only | 3 (27%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (27%) |
