Zeta Global Corp. has 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This means each action is being reviewed by a unique examiner. The 2 distinct art units involved suggest that the company's filings are concentrated in a small number of specialized examination areas within the USPTO. This concentration within 2 units allows for a more focused understanding of the relevant examination standards.
The busiest examiner, CIRNU, ALEXANDRU, has 1 pending action. This is consistent with the 5 distinct examiners handling the 5 total pending office actions. With 5 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the portfolio is decentralized across several individuals but focused within two units. Practitioners should be prepared to address the specific requirements of 2 different art units while managing 5 separate examiner relationships in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. The lack of examiner overlap means each case will be evaluated on its own merits.
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.
