Polymer Solutions International Inc. has 5 pending office actions concentrated in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are spread across 4 distinct art units, which reflects a range of technical classifications for the company's mechanical innovations. The prosecution involves 5 distinct examiners, matching the total number of pending actions. This distribution requires the company to address a variety of examiner preferences across the identified art units.
RIVERA, WILLIAM ARAUZ is the busiest examiner for this portfolio with 1 pending office action. Because each of the 5 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner, the company faces a spectrum of individual examiner interpretations. This lack of examiner overlap suggests that prosecution strategies must be tailored to the specific tendencies of each of the individuals involved. Practitioners should account for the 4 distinct art units when developing arguments, as the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area is being reviewed across multiple specialized groups at the USPTO.
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.
