O'Keeffe'S Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the portfolio combines multiple examiner relationships with some art-unit overlap.
BARRERA, JUAN C is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment warrants particular docket attention, while the remaining matters require coordination across the other examiners and the second art unit.
For counsel, the central management task is to keep claim terminology and technical evidence consistent across the transportation and mechanical matters without assuming that one response will resolve every examiner’s concerns.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
