Smart Reporting GmbH is active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area with 4 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct art units, showing that each current action is being evaluated by a different technical group. This 1 to 1 ratio between actions and 4 distinct art units suggests a broad technical spread for the company's current applications. Such a distribution ensures that each invention is evaluated by a unique technical group.
The portfolio involves 4 distinct examiners, matching the number of pending actions exactly. PATEL, SHERYL GOPAL is identified as the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because each of the 4 distinct examiners is responsible for exactly 1 action, the workload is perfectly distributed across the officials involved. This lack of examiner concentration means that the company's success in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area depends on the independent reviews of 4 different examiners.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (50%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
