Simbe Robotics Inc. is active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently has 2 pending office actions. Both of these matters are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a focused administrative environment for the current pending workload. The 1 distinct art unit suggests that the 2 pending office actions involve closely related technical subject matter.
Prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners. DELIGI, VANESSA LIMA is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Each of the 2 distinct examiners is responsible for one of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. This one-to-one ratio ensures that each case is being reviewed by a different person despite being housed in 1 distinct art unit, providing individual attention to each matter.
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.
