Shenzhen Petaboo Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These filings are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating a focused technical range. The 2 distinct art units suggest that the company's innovations are reviewed by a small number of specialized groups at the patent office.
The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for 3 pending office actions, at least one examiner is handling multiple cases. This distribution among 2 distinct examiners suggests some level of consistency in the examination process. Practitioners can identify patterns in examiner behavior to improve prosecution outcomes across the 3 pending office actions.
HAYES, KRISTEN C is the busiest examiner for the company, currently responsible for 2 pending office actions. These 2 pending office actions represent the highest concentration of cases under a single examiner. Managing the workload across 2 distinct art units requires a strategy that accounts for the specific requirements of the examiners involved in 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.
