Roth River Inc. has 2 pending office actions. These are in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area and are distributed across 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's transportation-related innovations are being reviewed by different specialized groups at the patent office.
The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners. ASHFORD S HAYLES is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. Each of the 2 examiners is responsible for one of the 2 pending actions in the portfolio. This one-to-one ratio between examiners and pending actions means that the company must manage 2 separate examiner relationships across 2 different art units. A successful prosecution strategy will require addressing the specific concerns of each examiner while ensuring that the overall goals for the company's transportation technology are met across both of the active cases.
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.
