14 pending office actions • 4 art units • 14 examiners • 0 of 14 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 15 patents granted in the last 365 days
Canon Production Printing Holding B.V. has 15 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The docket spans 14 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, showing that nearly every matter has separate examiner handling while multiple matters are placed within the same examination groups. This combination favors centralized portfolio oversight with technical segmentation by art unit.
UHLENHAKE, JASON S is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The two assigned matters warrant a coordinated review for common claim language, cited technology, and response strategy, but the limited concentration means that broader prosecution planning must address the other examiner assignments as well.
The art-unit structure may support identifying recurring standards or issues across related applications. Counsel should use those patterns to improve consistency while preserving application-specific arguments, especially where examiner treatment differs.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (21%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (79%) |
