Patreon Inc. currently has 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across several distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each pending action is being reviewed in a different art unit. Such a spread indicates that the company's current patent applications cover a variety of technical aspects within its main technology area.
KONERU, SUJAY is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. This single action is part of the total pending office actions for the company. The use of 4 distinct art units indicates a broad application of technology within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. Because there are multiple distinct examiners, the company must address different sets of examination styles and preferences. This lack of overlap between examiners means that prosecution strategies must be customized for each individual application. The company's success in this sector will depend on navigating these separate examination environments effectively.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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.
