Taiga Motors Inc. currently manages 6 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This workload is distributed across 6 distinct examiners, indicating a highly fragmented prosecution landscape where no individual examiner holds a majority of the active cases. The 5 distinct art units involved further suggest that the portfolio spans several specialized technical niches within the broader category, requiring the company to navigate multiple sets of examiner preferences and art unit standards simultaneously.
MILLER, PRESTON JAY is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, though they are responsible for only 1 pending office action. This parity between the busiest examiner's load and the total number of distinct examiners confirms that the pending office actions are spread evenly across the individual examiners assigned to the company's applications. For practitioners, this distribution means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to different individuals rather than focusing on the primary contact at the patent office.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (67%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
