Mastercard Asia/Pacific Pte. Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The actions are distributed across 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, with each recorded matter associated with a separate examiner and art-unit assignment. This structure gives the docket a fully distributed examination profile within the supplied data.
KASSIM, HAFIZ A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner accounts for more than that single assignment, so a common examiner-specific response approach is not indicated. Counsel may benefit from maintaining separate issue histories and response calendars for each matter, while using the shared technology area to coordinate disclosure and claim-position decisions across the portfolio.
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.
