A. Raymond et Cie has 17 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 17 distinct examiners across 11 distinct art units, so every pending matter has a separate examiner assignment and the technology spans a broad set of examination groups.
CHOI, WILLIAM SOON is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The absence of a repeated examiner assignment makes file-specific prior-art analysis especially important. Counsel can promote consistency through shared definitions and carefully aligned specification support, while allowing claim amendments and interview preparation to reflect the different art-unit and examiner contexts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 4 (24%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (53%) |
