Soucy International Inc. maintains a portfolio with 14 pending office actions, primarily focused in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Prosecution is distributed across 12 distinct examiners, suggesting a broad engagement with the patent office rather than concentration under a few individuals. These examiners are situated within 5 distinct art units, indicating some level of technical diversity within the mechanical and transportation sectors.
The busiest examiner, BOEHLER, ANNE MARIE M, handles 2 pending office actions, which is a relatively low concentration given the 14 total pending actions. This confirms that the workload is highly decentralized across the 12 distinct examiners. For a practitioner, this means that strategies successful with one examiner may not apply to the rest of the portfolio. The presence of 5 distinct art units further suggests that the pending office actions may be subject to different internal policies or examination speeds depending on the specific unit. Managing the distinct examiners across the art units requires a versatile approach to prosecution to handle the varied perspectives involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 5 (29%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (59%) |
