BAE Systems plc has 65 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 61 distinct examiners across 41 distinct art units. GUYAH, REMASH RAJA is the busiest examiner, currently managing 3 pending office actions. The portfolio's 65 pending actions are distributed such that the count of 61 distinct examiners is close to the total number of actions.
The presence of 41 distinct art units indicates the technical scope within the transportation and mechanical systems field. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 3, the company's prosecution workload is spread across many individuals. GUYAH, REMASH RAJA handles 3 of the 65 pending office actions. With 61 distinct examiners involved, the company interacts with a large number of officials at the patent office. The involvement of 41 distinct art units shows that the company's technology is being evaluated by many different technical sections. This decentralized structure across 41 art units requires a strategy to manage the 65 pending actions. GUYAH, REMASH RAJA is the busiest examiner for this portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 | 6 (9%) |
| §103 only | 19 (29%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 3 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 35 (54%) |
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.
