Stack Av Co. maintains a company patent portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently has 4 pending office actions. These 4 actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, providing a variety of examination viewpoints for the company's pending applications. This diversity in examiners can lead to different prosecution outcomes even within the same technology area.
The 4 pending office actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units. This indicates that while the examiners are all different, at least two of them are likely operating within the same art unit. Navigating 3 art units requires the company to monitor different technical standards and examiner behaviors across a relatively focused range of mechanical systems. Practitioners should look for commonalities in prior art cited across these 3 distinct art units.
WANG, JINGLI is the busiest examiner for Stack Av Co., with 1 pending office action currently assigned. Given that there are 4 distinct examiners for the 4 pending office actions, the workload is perfectly balanced. WANG, JINGLI and the other 3 examiners each manage 1 pending action, ensuring that no single examiner dominates the current prosecution landscape. This distribution across 3 art units and 4 examiners provides a broad exposure to patent office practices.
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.
