Dewalch Technologies Inc. has 8 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 1 art unit, showing that the pending portfolio is concentrated in one technical examination setting while being divided between two examiner assignments. This structure supports coordinated review of claim scope, disclosure positions, and recurring objections.
AHMAD, FARIA F is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That examiner handles half of the pending workload, while the remaining matters are assigned elsewhere. Counsel should prioritize consistency across the matters before AHMAD, FARIA F, but should preserve separate response analysis for the other examiner’s matters. The shared art unit may support a common technical framework, subject to matter-specific prosecution needs.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
