Pet Parents LLC is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these actions is assigned to a different individual, resulting in 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This total fragmentation of the workload means that every pending matter is being evaluated under a unique set of perspectives and departmental standards.
The busiest examiner, BYUN, HAE RIE JESSICA, is only responsible for 1 pending office action, which is the same volume handled by the other examiners in the portfolio. This lack of concentration prevents the company from leveraging a single relationship or examiner's history across multiple applications. Prosecution strategy must be tailored individually for each of the 3 distinct examiners involved. The examiner's prior rulings in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field will be critical for each case.
With 3 distinct art units involved, the portfolio's active applications are subject to the varied administrative practices of different sections of the USPTO. This diversity suggests that the company's technology may be multi-faceted, touching on different aspects of the transportation and e-commerce sectors. Managing 3 pending office actions across such a dispersed landscape requires careful coordination to maintain consistency in the company's patent claims.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
