Onx Inc. operates within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area and currently has 8 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 8 distinct examiners, meaning every pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This high degree of examiner diversity suggests a broad range of patentable subject matter and requires managing multiple distinct prosecution styles simultaneously.
Despite the high number of examiners, the portfolio is concentrated within 3 distinct art units. This concentration suggests that while many examiners are involved, the technical focus of the applications is relatively narrow, falling into just a few specific categories within the transportation and e-commerce sectors. This allows for some level of strategic consistency across the different applications.
The busiest examiner, KENNY, DANIEL J, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner only manages a single pending action, the workload is perfectly distributed across the examiner pool. No single examiner has a disproportionate impact on the portfolio, which may reduce the risk associated with any individual examiner's specific tendencies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (12%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (62%) |
