May 1 Holdings LLC has 7 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 7 examiners but only 3 art units, showing wide examiner distribution within a narrower set of technical classifications.
CONDO, VERONICA MARIE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because no examiner handles more than that assignment, counsel should emphasize consistent portfolio terminology while preparing distinct responses for each examiner.
The repeated art-unit assignments may support research into recurring classification issues and local examination patterns. They do not, by themselves, establish that the claims will receive the same treatment.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §102 only | 2 (29%) |
