Cooper Standard GmbH has 3 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 3 examiners and 2 art units, so examiner assignments are more varied than the art-unit assignments.
STRIMBU, GREGORY J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The docket therefore calls for separate examiner-level tracking, with attention to the shared art-unit structure.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
