Beijing Roborock Technology Co., Ltd. has 38 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio involves 26 distinct examiners across 10 distinct art units, indicating examiner dispersion within a more limited set of technical units. That pattern can support art-unit-level review while still requiring examiner-specific response planning.
JENNINGS, MICHAEL DEANGILO is the busiest examiner with 3 pending matters. The concentration is limited relative to the overall docket, so recurring issues may be most useful to identify at the art-unit level rather than through one examiner alone. Counsel should maintain coordinated positions on mechanical claim limitations while tracking distinct prosecution histories.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 2 (6%) |
| §103 only | 10 (29%) |
| §102 only | 5 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 18 (51%) |
