Sarcos Corp. has 5 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 5 examiners across 4 art units, indicating full examiner dispersion with some shared art-unit context.
JOS, BASIL T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Art-unit grouping may support coordination, but each examiner relationship should be evaluated independently.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (67%) |
