Brembo S P A has 21 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 17 examiners and 9 art units, indicating broad examiner coverage across a more concentrated set of technical groups. The difference between action and examiner totals shows that some examiner overlap exists, but no single examiner dominates the portfolio.
TAYLOR II, JAMES JOSEPH is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending actions. Those matters are a useful focus for comparing positions on transportation and mechanical claim features. The remaining actions should be organized by art unit and examiner so that coordinated amendments do not obscure matter-specific distinctions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (5%) |
| §103 only | 2 (10%) |
| §102 only | 3 (14%) |
| §112 only | 2 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (62%) |
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.
