Magpul Industries Corp. currently has 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing some technical concentration within the company's mechanical filings. The presence of 3 distinct art units for 5 pending office actions suggests that at least two matters fall within the same technical group at the patent office.
The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, which is fewer than the 5 pending office actions. GILBERT, WILLIAM V is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 2 pending office actions. This concentration shows that one examiner is responsible for multiple matters within the total workload. With 4 distinct examiners, the company must manage several examiner relationships across the active cases.
Practitioners should note that GILBERT, WILLIAM V manages 2 pending office actions, representing a focal point in the company's prosecution strategy. The remaining 3 actions are distributed among other distinct examiners across the 3 distinct art units. This requires a strategy that balances the influence of the busiest examiner with the requirements of the other 4 distinct examiners in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
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.
