3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Pavilion Capital LLC has 3 pending office actions distributed across the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution is handled by 3 distinct examiners, indicating a ratio of 1 action per examiner. Furthermore, these matters are spread across 3 distinct art units, which suggests a diverse range of technical subject matter within the broader category. This distribution implies that the company is pursuing multiple distinct innovations that do not overlap in their technical classification at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner identified in the portfolio is WALRAED-SULLIVAN, KYLE, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution shows that no single examiner holds a majority of the pending workload. For practitioners, this means that prosecution strategies may need to be tailored to the specific preferences of 3 different individuals across 3 separate art units. The parity between the number of 3 actions, 3 examiners, and 3 art units highlights a decentralized prosecution landscape. Such a structure requires a broad understanding of different examiner behaviors rather than a deep focus on a single individual's history.
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.
