Mastercard Asia/Pacific Pte. Ltd. is managing 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, showing that no examiner is currently handling multiple pending matters for the company. The prosecution activity is spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating a concentration of technical subject matter despite the variety of examiners involved.
KASSIM, HAFIZ A is designated as the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This single action is 1 of the 4 pending office actions in the portfolio. The presence of 3 distinct art units for 4 actions suggests that some actions share a similar technical classification. However, the use of 4 distinct examiners means the company must navigate four different individual perspectives, which may lead to varying prosecution timelines 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.
