28 pending office actions • 11 art units • 27 examiners • 0 of 28 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 57 patents granted in the last 365 days
Danfoss A/S has 26 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio involves 25 distinct examiners and 12 distinct art units, showing broad examiner dispersion with recurring placement in several technical units. The difference between actions and examiners indicates limited examiner repetition.
BOECKMANN, JASON J is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Those applications may benefit from coordinated review of examiner-specific issues. The wider art-unit distribution calls for separate analysis of the mechanical and device technologies represented in the remaining prosecution matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (7%) |
| §103 only | 8 (29%) |
| §112 only | 2 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (50%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
