BAE Systems plc has 62 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. These matters involve 61 distinct examiners and 45 distinct art units, showing that the pending work is distributed broadly across examination personnel and technical classifications. The near alignment between actions and examiners indicates limited examiner-level clustering in the available portfolio.
GUYAH, REMASH RAJA is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That small cluster does not account for the overall pending volume, so prosecution planning should emphasize portfolio-wide monitoring rather than a single examiner relationship. Art-unit-specific preparation remains important because the matters span 45 units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 4 (7%) |
| §103 only | 19 (33%) |
| §102 only | 3 (5%) |
| §112 only | 3 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 29 (50%) |
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.
