Blue Yonder Group Inc. has 40 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Those matters span 27 distinct examiners and 12 distinct art units, indicating repeated technical-unit coverage alongside a broad examiner footprint.
EL-HAGE HASSAN, ABDALLAH A is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. The concentration supports coordinated review of matters assigned to that examiner, but the larger examiner distribution requires a portfolio process that captures differences in interview practice and amendment expectations. The 12 art-unit assignments can provide a useful structure for aligning technical positions across related matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 7 (18%) |
| §101 + other | 23 (58%) |
| §103 only | 7 (18%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (5%) |
