Raise Marketplace LLC has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, meaning each pending matter is being reviewed by a different person in a different technical division. This distribution of 3 actions across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company is pursuing independent innovations that do not overlap in their examination paths.
The busiest examiner, XIAO, ZESHENG, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This busiest examiner pending count of 1 confirms that the 3 pending office actions are split evenly among the 3 distinct examiners. Because each action is also in a separate art unit, there is no overlap in the examination environment for these cases. The applicant must develop three independent prosecution strategies to address the unique requirements of each of the 3 distinct examiners and art units. Practitioners cannot rely on a single successful argument to resolve all 3 pending office actions, as the 3 distinct art units likely apply different examination guidelines. The lack of concentration across the 3 distinct examiners requires a more resource-intensive approach to manage the varied feedback from the patent office. Each of the 3 pending office actions requires an individualized response that addresses the specific technical concerns of the assigned examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
