Pelatro Pte. Ltd. manages 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 3 pending office actions is being handled by a different individual, as there are 3 distinct examiners involved. The prosecution activity is spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the technical subject matter is not confined to a single specialized group within the patent office.
The busiest examiner, WOODWORTH, II, ALLAN J, is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This is consistent with the overall distribution where each of the 3 distinct examiners manages a single matter. With 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the company's small pending portfolio is reviewed by a unique set of individuals for each matter. This lack of examiner overlap means that the company must address different examination styles even for a small number of applications. Practitioners should expect a variety of feedback, as no single examiner holds a majority of the pending workload. The distribution across 2 distinct art units further emphasizes the variety of the technical subject matter under review.
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.
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.
