BSH Hausgeräte GmbH has 49 pending office actions, involving 46 distinct examiners and 23 distinct art units in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The action total exceeds both the examiner and art-unit totals, showing that multiple matters share examination resources.
ROERSMA, ANDREW MARK is identified as the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The portfolio calls for centralized docket oversight across 23 art units and examiner-specific response management.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 16 (36%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (56%) |
