SiLC Technologies Inc. has 10 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 9 examiners across 6 art units, indicating a broad distribution of active prosecution.
RODRIGUEZ, VICENTE M is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The examiner-specific concentration is limited relative to the portfolio total, so counsel should use a coordinated portfolio review while tailoring responses to the separate examination assignments.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 5 (45%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (55%) |
