Pic Corporation has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, creating a separate examination assignment for each reported action.
DAVIS, RICHARD G is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No concentration appears at the examiner or art-unit level. Counsel can address each office action on its own record, using portfolio-wide technical consistency where the inventions or specifications overlap.
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%) |
