Wizrocket Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, so each examiner is responsible for a single pending case. CHRISTOPHER STROUD is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that the company's current prosecution is not concentrated under any single examiner.
The 3 pending actions are located within 3 distinct art units, indicating a range of technical specialties within the transportation field. With 3 examiners and 3 art units for only 3 pending office actions, the company faces a fragmented prosecution environment. This profile suggests that the company must coordinate across multiple technical groups and individual examiners to manage its 3 pending matters effectively.
Because each of the 3 examiners handles only 1 pending office action, there is no opportunity to leverage a relationship with a single examiner across multiple cases. Practitioners must treat each of the 3 pending matters as a standalone negotiation. The 3 distinct art units further diversify the technical requirements, meaning that each of the 3 pending actions, including the one assigned to CHRISTOPHER STROUD, requires a unique approach.
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.
