Olden Labs Pbc is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, with each examiner reviewing one case. The prosecution is centralized within 1 distinct art unit, indicating that the company's current patent applications are technically related and subject to the same departmental standards.
The busiest examiner, KENIRY, HEATHER J, is responsible for 1 pending case. This distribution, where 2 distinct examiners handle 2 pending office actions, means that the practitioner must manage two separate relationships at the USPTO. However, because both cases are in 1 distinct art unit, the practitioner can likely use a consistent set of technical definitions and prior art interpretations across both matters within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
Having 2 pending office actions suggests a focused and manageable portfolio. The practitioner's strategy should focus on the individual preferences of the 2 distinct examiners while leveraging the shared context of the 1 distinct art unit. Since the busiest examiner, KENIRY, HEATHER J, only handles 1 pending case, there is no opportunity to resolve both outstanding actions through a single point of contact, requiring a dual-track prosecution approach for the 2 pending office actions.
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.
