Unirac Inc. has 15 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 14 distinct examiners. The portfolio spans 8 distinct art units, indicating that the company's mechanical technologies fall into several different technical classifications. The involvement of 8 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations are being evaluated by multiple specialized groups, each with its own technical focus for the 15 pending office actions.
CAJILIG, CHRISTINE T is the busiest examiner, managing 2 pending office actions. The remaining actions are spread across the other 14 distinct examiners. This means that 14 distinct examiners are providing feedback on the company's applications. The breadth of 8 distinct art units indicates that the company's research is technically diverse, requiring the prosecution team to navigate the unique examination cultures of several different specialized units. Having 2 pending office actions assigned to CAJILIG, CHRISTINE T represents the highest concentration of work with any single examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 3 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (60%) |
