Smart Radar System Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, reflecting a variety of technical applications for its radar technology. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is being reviewed by a different individual.
PEDERSEN, DAVID RUBEN is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending action. Given that there are 3 pending office actions and a matching number of distinct examiners, every examiner is assigned exactly one case. This distribution requires the applicant to navigate the specific preferences of several different examiners without any overlap.
The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the pending office actions may cover different aspects of transportation or mechanical systems. Practitioners must tailor their responses to the specific requirements of each of the 3 distinct examiners. Because there is no examiner concentration, the outcome of one action is unlikely to directly impact the others in this small portfolio, and PEDERSEN, DAVID RUBEN will only influence a single matter.
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.
