Mobile Industrial Robots A/S currently has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being evaluated by a different individual. This distribution prevents a single examiner from controlling the company's entire active portfolio.
The company's prosecution activity is split between distinct art units. This suggests that even within the same broad technology area, the company's applications are being categorized into different specialized groups at the patent office. Practitioners must account for the potentially different examination cultures and timelines associated with these separate units.
WOOD, BLAKE ANDREW is the busiest examiner, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because this examiner handles a portion of the total active matters, the company must balance its strategy between the feedback from this examiner and the other individual involved in the portfolio.
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.
