AGCO Corporation has 20 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are distributed across 16 examiners and 12 art units, showing a broad prosecution docket with repeated assignments at both examiner and art-unit levels.
PEZZUTO, ROBERT ERIC is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner is a practical focal point for checking whether related matters can share claim-development or response insights. The remaining matters are spread across numerous examination channels, so portfolio oversight should also emphasize consistent technical positions and art-unit-specific practice.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 10 (48%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (33%) |
