Piaggio & C. S.p.A. manages 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, resulting in 4 distinct examiners for 4 pending office actions. The portfolio is distributed across 3 distinct art units, which suggests a variety of technical focuses within the company's transportation-related innovations.
The busiest examiner, ESQUIVEL, DENISE LYNNE, is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the 4 pending office actions are split among 4 distinct examiners, no 1 examiner has a disproportionate influence on the portfolio. The use of 3 distinct art units indicates that the company's applications are being reviewed by several different technical groups. Practitioners should be prepared for a diverse set of examiner perspectives and art unit standards. With 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units involved, the prosecution strategy should remain flexible to accommodate the different requirements of each matter. This distribution minimizes the risk that a single difficult examiner could stall the entire pending portfolio, as each of the 4 pending office actions is independent of the others in terms of examiner assignment.
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.
