Nature Architects Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned to 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, showing a fully distributed docket at both levels.
GAITONDE, MEGHA MEHTA is the listed busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Since each examiner and art unit is associated with an equivalent portion of the recorded workload, counsel should maintain separate response strategies and deadlines for each matter.
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.
