Manitou Bf has 5 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The profile records 5 distinct examiners and 5 art units, so each pending action is associated with a separate examiner and art-unit assignment.
DIAZ, THOMAS C is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. There is no examiner concentration in the available data. Prosecution planning should be matter-specific, with coordination focused on consistent technical positions across the separate examination settings.
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 | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
