Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc. has 27 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 20 distinct examiners and 13 distinct art units, showing a large and distributed portfolio across automated transportation and mechanical-system examination assignments.
RANDAZZO, THOMAS is the busiest listed examiner, with 5 pending matters. That concentration creates an identifiable coordination point for claim strategy and recurring issues, but most of the docket remains spread across other examiners and art units. Counsel should combine portfolio-level consistency with detailed tracking of each examination relationship.
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 (4%) |
| §103 only | 5 (20%) |
| §112 only | 6 (24%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (16%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (16%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (20%) |
