Simbe Robotics Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Those matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 1 art unit, indicating examiner diversity without corresponding art-unit diversity.
GLASS, RUSSELL S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile therefore presents a compact prosecution docket with activity centered within one art unit, while responsibility is distributed across 2 examiners. Counsel reviewing the docket can focus first on the shared art-unit context and then on the examiner-specific issues.
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.
