Simnang Ip LLC has 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 5 actions is assigned to a different person, resulting in 5 distinct examiners for the portfolio. These matters are spread across 5 distinct art units, which indicates that every single pending application is being reviewed by a different technical group at the USPTO. This structure of 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units for 5 pending office actions means the company must navigate different examination environments for every case.
Scott S Trotter is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending office action. Because there are 5 distinct examiners for the 5 total actions, there is no overlap in examiner assignments. The 5 distinct art units involved show that the pending office actions are completely distributed across different specialized units. This structure requires the company to manage 5 unique examiner relationships. Each of the 5 pending office actions is subject to the specific standards of a different art unit and the individual perspective of a different examiner within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
