2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Nova Sky Stories LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. While there are 2 distinct examiners involved, the 2 examiners are operating within 1 distinct art unit. CHOI, JISUN is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending action under review. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests a unified technical focus despite the involvement of different examiners.
This structure allows for a comparison of examiner behaviors within the same administrative group. Practitioners can monitor how CHOI, JISUN interprets the company's mechanical and e-commerce claims compared to the other examiner in the same unit. Because there are 2 pending office actions, the company is managing multiple active dialogues with the USPTO simultaneously. The fact that the 2 actions are in 1 art unit may lead to consistent prior art citations across the applications compared to applications in different art units. However, the presence of 2 distinct examiners means that the specific arguments that succeed with 1 may not necessarily work with the other. This profile represents a balance between technical focus and individual examiner variability.
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.
