Summa Finland Oy currently has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and the distinct art units. ROBINSON, KYLE G is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Since there are the pending office actions and the distinct examiners, each examiner is managing an action.
The use of the distinct art units for the actions indicates a technical range where each action is classified differently. This ratio between actions and art units means the company is not seeing technical overlap in its current pending work. Practitioners must manage the distinct examiners across the art units for the 2 pending office actions. This distribution suggests that the company's current filings are technically diverse within the broader technology area. The 1 pending action assigned to the busiest examiner is part of the total workload.
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 + other | 1 (33%) |
