Seegrid Corporation is currently handling 15 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 15 distinct examiners, meaning that no two pending matters are currently assigned to the same individual, which necessitates a diverse set of prosecution tactics. The portfolio's pending actions are distributed among 7 distinct art units, showing a broad technical footprint within its primary technology area and a need to manage various technical standards across the USPTO.
RACHEL ANNE OMETZ is identified as the busiest examiner for the corporation, though she is responsible for only 1 pending office action, highlighting the high degree of examiner dispersion across the company's active cases. With 15 pending office actions and multiple examiners, the corporation must maintain a high level of consistency in its legal arguments while addressing the unique concerns of each individual. The distribution across 7 distinct art units further underscores the complexity of managing this portfolio, as each unit may have different examination timelines and internal guidelines.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 4 (27%) |
| §103 only | 5 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (33%) |
