Daifuku Co., Ltd. has 27 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket spans 26 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner dispersion with repeated technical-unit coverage.
BARZEGAR, PEGAH is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited cluster means that most prosecution activity is handled by other examiners. Counsel should maintain consistent positions on recurring transportation and mechanical concepts while tailoring responses to the separate examiner assignments and art-unit contexts.
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.
