Spanset Inter AG currently faces 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter is being handled by a different examiner. This lack of overlap suggests that the company's current applications are being treated as distinct entities by the patent office's administrative structure.
SOTO, HENRIX is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that no 1 examiner or art unit dominates the current prosecution landscape for the company, as the workload is split. With 2 pending office actions in total, the company must manage 2 separate prosecution timelines and examiner interactions, as each of the 2 distinct examiners operates independently within their respective art units to secure patent rights.
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.
