Pegasus Solar Inc. has 7 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed among 6 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution indicates a moderately diversified portfolio where the company is engaging with multiple examination groups, which can help spread the risk of prosecution delays across different parts of the patent office. The concentration of the 7 pending office actions within 3 distinct art units suggests that while the examiners are different, the technical focus remains relatively tight.
The busiest examiner for the company is TRIGGS, ANDREW J, who holds 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This examiner manages a larger portion of the portfolio than any other individual, although the 7 pending office actions are spread across several different examiners. With 6 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage a variety of examination styles and timelines. For the practitioner, the 2 busiest examiner pending actions under TRIGGS, ANDREW J represent the most significant individual point of focus in an otherwise distributed prosecution effort across the 3 distinct art units.
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.
