Strong Force Tx Portfolio 2018 LLC currently maintains 5 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners, indicating a spread of individual review. Furthermore, the portfolio spans 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the technical subject matter is diverse enough to require attention from multiple specialized groups within the patent office. This distribution means that no single examiner's perspective will dominate the portfolio's overall progress.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is JAKOVAC, RYAN J, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. This figure relates to the distribution where 5 distinct examiners manage the 5 total pending office actions. For practitioners, this distribution across 3 distinct art units implies that prosecution strategies may need to be tailored to the specific nuances of different examination groups. The lack of concentration with a single examiner suggests that the company must manage 5 separate examiner relationships simultaneously. This variety in 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units requires a versatile approach to patent prosecution.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (40%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (20%) |
