Baker Hughes Holdings LLC has 43 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters span 37 distinct examiners and 24 distinct art units, reflecting a distributed portfolio with recurring activity in some technical groups.
AKARAGWE, YANICK A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That relationship warrants targeted review, but the overall workload is spread across many other examiners.
The difference between examiner and art-unit coverage suggests that some transportation and mechanical matters share an art-unit context while receiving separate examiner treatment. Counsel should monitor recurring technical issues at both levels and avoid assuming that an art-unit pattern alone predicts a response outcome.
A coordinated process for deadlines, claim terminology, and disclosures can support consistency across the portfolio. Matter-specific analysis remains important for amendment choices, interviews, and prior-art responses.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 | 3 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 9 (21%) |
| §103 only | 13 (31%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (31%) |
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.
