4 pending office actions • 1 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
SwissP Defence AG is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. All 4 actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a specific technical classification for the company's current patent applications. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit indicates that the company's defense-related mechanical innovations are being reviewed by a single specialized technical group.
The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, with DAVID, MICHAEL D serving as the busiest examiner. DAVID, MICHAEL D is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed with each examiner handling an action. This means that while the applications are all within the same art unit, the company is interacting with the distinct examiners across the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (100%) |
