Platinum Ip LLC maintains 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. STERLING, AMY JO is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending action. This distribution shows that each pending matter is being handled by a different examiner in a different art unit.
The presence of 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending actions means that the company's prosecution success is not tied to any single individual. The use of 2 distinct art units further highlights the technical variety of the company's active filings within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. This footprint requires the prosecution team to be familiar with the specific practices of 2 different examining groups and the individual preferences of 2 different examiners simultaneously.
The lack of concentration, where even the busiest examiner like STERLING, AMY JO only has 1 pending action, suggests a diverse research and development pipeline. For practitioners, this means that strategies must be tailored for each individual case, as there is no overlap in examiners to leverage. The portfolio's progress will be the result of 2 independent interactions across different swaths of the USPTO's mechanical divisions.
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.
