Ampere S A S has 7 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, so prosecution is spread across several examination assignments rather than focused in a single channel.
LUGO, CARLOS is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration at that examiner suggests that most prosecution decisions will remain matter-specific. Counsel can use the shared technology area as a coordination point while tracking examiner and art-unit treatment separately.
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 |
