Terabase Energy Inc. maintains a patent portfolio with 6 pending office actions. These actions are situated within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution is distributed across 6 distinct examiners, meaning every pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This indicates a level of diversification where the number of examiners equals the total count of pending actions, ensuring independent review for each application.
The portfolio is spread across 5 distinct art units. This variety shows that the company's filings in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems are touching upon several different technical classifications. With the current count of pending office actions being higher than the 5 distinct art units, some actions are likely being processed within the same administrative group, while the others are isolated. This structure requires navigating various internal policies across the art units.
STERLING, AMY JO is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the total number of pending office actions is 6, this busiest examiner handles a portion of the current workload. This distribution across the distinct examiners and art units requires an adaptable strategy to manage the various examination styles and administrative requirements encountered. Practitioners must track 1 busiest examiner pending action while addressing the other five matters separately.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
