Stack Av Co. currently has 5 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This portfolio is widely distributed, involving 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. Such a broad spread suggests that the company's technology touches on several different mechanical and systemic classifications at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is WANG, JINGLI, who is handling 1 pending office action. Because each of the 5 distinct examiners is responsible for 1 pending office action, the workload is distributed across the assigned staff. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner's tendencies will dominate the outcome of the entire portfolio.
The involvement of 4 distinct art units requires a versatile prosecution strategy to address the varying standards of different technical groups. With 5 pending office actions, the company must manage multiple simultaneous timelines. Practitioners should be prepared for a variety of examiner styles, as the data shows a specific count of 5 distinct examiners for the active matters.
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.
