Technische Universität Darmstadt maintains 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio involves 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, showing a 1-to-1 ratio for each pending matter. CARIB A OQUENDO is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
This distribution indicates that each of the 4 pending office actions is being prosecuted in a unique departmental and examiner environment. There is no overlap between the examiners or the art units. This requires the university to manage separate prosecution tracks with no shared examiner or art unit insights.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
