Outcomemd Inc. manages a company patent portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently faces 5 pending office actions, indicating a moderate level of ongoing activity at the patent office. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners, suggesting that the company's intellectual property is being reviewed by a diverse group of technical experts.
The prosecution effort spans 4 distinct art units, which is slightly fewer than the 5 distinct examiners involved. This distribution implies that some examiners are working within the same art unit or that the technology is concentrated in a few specific examination groups. ALAAELDIN M ELSHAER is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are currently responsible for only 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
Given that the total number of pending office actions is 5, the workload is spread evenly, as no single examiner holds more than 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This lack of concentration suggests that the prosecution strategy is not heavily dependent on any single individual at the patent office. Practitioners can expect a variety of examination styles across the 4 distinct art units currently reviewing the portfolio's applications.
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 | 3 (60%) |
