Staccato 2011 LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both within 1 distinct art unit. KLEIN, GABRIEL J is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. Both cases are concentrated within a single group despite having different personnel.
The use of 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions ensures that the company receives multiple perspectives within the same technical field. Even though the 1 distinct art unit is the same, each individual may bring a different approach to the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems applications. KLEIN, GABRIEL J is one of the professionals currently reviewing the company's work. Practitioners should be prepared for varied feedback even within this concentrated technical area. The strategy must account for the specific nuances of each assigned examiner. This distribution ensures that the company's success is not tied to a specific person. The 1 pending action handled by the busiest examiner represents the current limit of examiner concentration.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
