2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Mjr Controls Limited has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio is divided between 2 distinct art units, showing that each pending matter resides in a different administrative division. Prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each case is reviewed by a different official. This structure suggests that the company's current legal challenges are not concentrated under a single point of authority within the patent office.
JONES, JODI MARIE is designated as the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action under her review. Since there are 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split. This structure indicates that no examiner or art unit dominates the current prosecution landscape for the company. Practitioners must manage 2 separate examiner relationships to resolve the 2 pending office actions currently on the docket. This 2-examiner environment requires consistent messaging across the 2 distinct art units.
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 | 1 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
