2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Tallano Technologies has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners but are both within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's applications are being reviewed by different individuals within the same specialized administrative group. The concentration within 1 art unit suggests a high degree of technical similarity between the pending matters.
JAMES K HSIAO is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, handling 1 pending office action. Given that the total pending office actions is 2 and the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is divided between the 2 distinct examiners. This distribution shows that no single examiner has a dominant role in the company's current prosecution. For a practitioner, this means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to the specific expectations of 2 different examiners within the same Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems art unit.
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.
