Sarcos Corp. currently has 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners, showing that each active application is being reviewed by a different individual. The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's filings are classified under several different technical groups at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is JOS, BASIL T, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. As the 4 pending office actions are spread among 4 distinct examiners, no single individual dominates the prosecution landscape. This distribution requires the company to manage four different examiner styles within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
Managing 4 pending office actions across 4 distinct art units requires a strategy that can accommodate different technical standards. Because JOS, BASIL T handles 1 pending office action, the company's success is distributed across the decisions of all 4 distinct examiners. This variety ensures that the portfolio's progress is not overly dependent on the discretion of any one official.
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.
