Aim Intelligent Machines Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 pending office actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning that each matter is being reviewed by a different individual. The portfolio's activity is spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating a high level of technical variety relative to the small number of pending applications. This one to one ratio between actions, examiners, and art units creates a highly fragmented prosecution landscape.
HARVEY II, KEVIN JEROME is the busiest examiner, though he is responsible for only 1 pending office action. This indicates that the workload is perfectly fragmented across the 3 distinct examiners. With 3 distinct art units involved, the company must be prepared for different procedural nuances and technical standards for every single pending matter. This distribution requires a highly individualized prosecution strategy for each of the 3 pending office actions. Practitioners must navigate 3 different examiner dockets and 3 different sets of art unit guidelines simultaneously to advance the portfolio.
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.

How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
