Rollease Acmeda Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This prosecution activity is distributed across 3 distinct examiners. All these matters are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a highly focused technological scope for the portfolio. This concentration means that while different examiners are reviewing the applications, they likely share a similar technical background or belong to the same supervisory group.
The busiest examiner assigned to the portfolio is SHEPHERD, MATTHEW RICHARD, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This count represents the maximum workload for any individual examiner currently handling the company's matters. The alignment of examiners with actions shows that no individual is managing multiple files for the company at this time. For a practitioner, this means that every pending matter requires building a relationship with a different person. The lack of examiner overlap suggests that prosecution outcomes will depend on individual tendencies rather than a single primary contact.
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.
