Baxter Medical Systems GmbH + Co. Kg has 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is reviewed by a different individual. This distribution requires the company to adapt to four unique examination styles across its current portfolio.
The portfolio spans 3 distinct art units, showing some concentration in the technical groups reviewing the filings despite the variety of examiners. GUTIERREZ, GISSELLE M is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. With 4 pending actions and 4 distinct examiners, the prosecution effort is decentralized across the 3 involved art units. This structure means that while the company is working within a limited number of 3 art units, it must still manage 4 separate relationships with 4 distinct examiners.
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 (25%) |
