Andersen Corporation has 8 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units, indicating meaningful reuse of examination resources at both the examiner and art-unit levels. This is a more concentrated structure than a docket in which every matter has a separate assignment, making coordinated review potentially useful.
WALRAED-SULLIVAN, KYLE is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. Those matters form the clearest examiner-centered workstream in the profile and should be reviewed for consistent claim treatment and response positioning. The remaining assignments still require separate tracking because the portfolio extends beyond that examiner and across multiple art units.
Counsel can combine a central deadline system with examiner-specific preparation. Art-unit review may help identify recurring technical issues, but responses should remain tied to each application’s record rather than relying solely on portfolio-wide language.
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 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
