Tata Group currently manages 72 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 69 distinct examiners, which indicates a high level of decentralization in the prosecution of the portfolio. The applications are spread across 28 distinct art units, reflecting a range of technical classifications and administrative oversight within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BOROWSKI, MICHAEL, who is currently handling 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. This is one of the few instances of examiner overlap, as the vast majority of the 72 pending office actions are each assigned to a different individual among the 69 distinct examiners. The breadth of 28 distinct art units suggests that the company is pursuing patents across a diverse array of systems. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate 69 different examiner relationships and the specific nuances of 28 distinct art units, requiring a robust prosecution strategy to ensure consistent results across the entire portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 13 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 23 (32%) |
| §101 + other | 29 (41%) |
| §103 only | 8 (11%) |
| §102 only | 3 (4%) |
| §112 only | 3 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (7%) |
