Tomy Company, Ltd. has 6 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, ensuring that every pending matter has a different reviewer. The portfolio is further spread across 5 distinct art units, showing a high level of technical and administrative diversity.
SINGH, SUNIL K is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because the 6 pending actions involve multiple distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, there is almost no overlap in the prosecution environment across the portfolio. This requires the company to adapt to the specific tendencies of a different examiner for every case. Practitioners must navigate the various art units, suggesting that the company's mechanical innovations span several distinct technical categories. This decentralized landscape for the pending matters requires a unique strategy for each application.
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 (20%) |
