Sanctuary Cognitive Systems Corporation has 21 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 21 actions are spread across 15 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units. Mohammed Yousef Abuelhawa is the busiest examiner, handling 4 of the 21 pending actions.
With 15 examiners for 21 actions, several examiners are managing multiple cases for the company. The 9 art units involved suggest that the company's cognitive systems technology is being reviewed by a variety of specialized technical groups. Practitioners should focus on the 4 actions assigned to Mohammed Yousef Abuelhawa while managing the remaining actions across the other examiners. This structure allows for the development of specialized strategies within a focused set of 9 art units. The presence of 21 pending actions requires a coordinated approach to ensure consistency in technical arguments across the 15 different examiners involved. The involvement of 9 art units indicates that the company's innovations are being classified into several technical categories within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector, requiring a broad understanding of different departmental standards and examination practices. This distribution ensures that the company's cognitive systems are subject to a range of individual perspectives during the review process.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 11 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 11 (55%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (30%) |
