Trackonomy Systems Inc. has 6 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 6 pending office actions is assigned to a different individual, resulting in 6 distinct examiners for the portfolio. This indicates a lack of examiner overlap in current prosecution, as no active matters share the same reviewer. Furthermore, the matters are spread across 6 distinct art units, showing that each application is being evaluated by a different specialized group within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this company is DEL TORO-ORTEGA, JORGE G, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there are 6 distinct examiners involved, no individual official holds a significant concentration of the company's active cases. Practitioners must prepare for unique perspectives across the 6 distinct art units involved. This fragmentation suggests that strategies used in a specific matter may not directly influence others due to the diverse technical classifications. Successfully resolving the active cases requires managing 6 separate examiner relationships.
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 | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 4 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
