Sennco Solutions Inc. manages 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 4 actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, which means every pending matter is being handled by a different individual. The portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct art units, showing some technical concentration despite the variety of examiners involved.
KRYCINSKI, STANTON L is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. This count of 1 is the same for all 4 distinct examiners currently assigned to the portfolio. The use of 2 distinct art units for 4 pending office actions suggests that the company's mechanical and transportation technologies are grouped into a few specialized areas. Managing 4 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units requires the company to address different individual examination styles within a limited number of technical groups. This structure necessitates a coordinated approach to maintain consistency across the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems filings.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
