Treemagineers Ltd. currently has 6 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates a relatively diverse portfolio where multiple inventions are being examined by different groups within the patent office simultaneously.
The busiest examiner, HAWK, NOAH CHANDLER, is managing 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This examiner handles 2 of the 6 pending office actions. The fact that 6 pending office actions are handled by 5 distinct examiners suggests a broad distribution of work across the patent office. The involvement of 4 distinct art units shows that while the technology area is consistent, the specific technical applications are assigned to 4 different specialized units. For the practitioner, managing 6 pending office actions across 4 distinct art units requires coordination with multiple supervisory styles.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
