2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Spectre Primer Technologies Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests a prosecution strategy within a specific regulatory group at the patent office. The use of 1 distinct art unit allows for an examination environment where the company can apply consistent arguments across its filings.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is BERGIN, JAMES S, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending actions is 2, the workload is split between the identified busiest examiner and another individual. Practitioners should prepare for examiner feedback within this specialized art unit. Managing the pending office actions with the distinct examiners requires attention to individual preferences while benefiting from the shared standards of the art unit. This structure allows the company to focus its resources on the specific requirements of 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.
