Vuaant Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is under the review of a different official. Despite having two examiners, the portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the individual examiners may vary, the technical evaluation of the applications is being conducted within a single specialized division of the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is PORTILLO, JAIRO H, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that the total number of pending office actions is 2, the workload is divided equally among the assigned examiners. Practitioners should note that the commonality of the single art unit provides a consistent technical baseline for prosecution, even as they navigate the individual preferences of the two different examiners. This structure allows for a unified technical argument while requiring adjustments for the specific feedback provided by each official.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
