Colder Products Company has 6 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 6 pending office actions are being handled by 6 distinct examiners, meaning there is no examiner overlap across the current active matters. This distribution requires the company to manage 6 unique relationships and examination styles at the patent office.
The company's filings are currently located in 3 distinct art units. This suggests that while the 6 distinct examiners are all different, they are grouped within a relatively small number of technical departments. KEE, FANNIE C is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action.
With 6 pending office actions spread across 3 distinct art units, the prosecution team must be prepared for the specific nuances of those 3 environments. Because KEE, FANNIE C only has 1 pending office action, the portfolio's progress is not heavily reliant on any 1 individual. The 6 distinct examiners provide a diversified exposure to the office's decision-making processes in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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 | 1 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
