29 pending office actions • 11 art units • 23 examiners • 0 of 29 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 102 patents granted in the last 365 days
Asics Corporation has 29 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The workload involves 23 distinct examiners across 10 distinct art units, showing that prosecution is distributed across multiple examination groups rather than concentrated in one unit.
MARCHEWKA, MATTHEW R is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment is a limited portion of the stated workload, so a portfolio-level tracking system is more useful than relying on one examiner relationship. Counsel should coordinate responses across the 10 art units and monitor examiner-specific developments separately.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 only | 2 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (21%) |
| §103 only | 9 (31%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (38%) |
