Tokyo Keiki Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing a lack of concentration in the current prosecution pipeline. With 2 pending office actions being handled by different individuals, the company must manage multiple sets of examiner preferences simultaneously.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates that the active matters fall into different technical sub-categories within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. This diversity suggests that the company is pursuing intellectual property across varied applications, rather than focusing on a niche that would be contained within a single art unit. Each of the 2 distinct art units will likely apply different sets of prior art and examination standards.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio, REDA, MATTHEW J, is currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, this busiest examiner is responsible for a portion of the active workload. This distribution ensures that no single examiner has a majority influence over the company's current patenting efforts, as the 2 pending office actions are split between REDA, MATTHEW J and another distinct examiner.
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.
