Oqab Dietrich Induction Inc. has 6 pending office actions focused in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This portfolio involves 6 distinct examiners. The prosecution is spread across 5 distinct art units, which indicates a technical footprint for a portfolio of this size. The company's patent activities are distributed across 5 specialized groups within the USPTO.
CARLOS DAVID AMAYA is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. Because distinct examiners are handling each pending action, no individual examiner manages more than 1 case for the company. This distribution across 5 distinct art units suggests that the company's mechanical and e-commerce innovations are being evaluated by a group of specialists. The pending office actions are each handled by a different examiner, preventing any consolidation of prosecution strategy with a particular official. This variety in examiners and art units for the pending actions reflects the distribution of the prosecution landscape. Each of the matters is assigned to a different examiner within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
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 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (75%) |
