Vornado Air LLC currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating a prosecution landscape where each pending matter is handled by a different examiner in a different art unit. This structure suggests that the company's technical innovations are being reviewed by diverse specialized groups within the patent office, requiring a versatile approach to legal arguments.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is FLORES, JUAN G, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 3 and there are 3 distinct examiners, no 1 examiner holds a majority of the workload. This distribution suggests that practitioners must tailor their strategies to the specific preferences of 3 individual examiners rather than focusing on a single primary contact. The lack of overlap between examiners and art units means that successful outcomes in 1 case may not necessarily provide a direct roadmap for the others, as each examiner operates within a unique administrative context.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
