THE TORO Company has 15 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The portfolio includes 15 distinct examiners and 10 distinct art units. KUJUNDZIC, DINO, is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action.
The examiner count matches the pending-action count, while the lower art-unit count indicates that some technical examination groups contain matters handled by different examiners. Counsel can coordinate recurring technical issues by art unit, but should maintain separate examiner histories. No examiner has a larger recorded assignment than the identified level.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 3 (23%) |
| §102 only | 1 (8%) |
