65 pending office actions • 18 art units • 50 examiners • 0 of 65 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 70 patents granted in the last 365 days
DexCom Inc. has 68 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio spans 51 distinct examiners and 19 distinct art units, indicating substantial examiner breadth and materially greater concentration at the art-unit level. The difference between pending matters and examiner assignments also shows that several examiners handle multiple matters.
JANG, CHRISTIAN Y is the busiest examiner, with 6 pending matters. That concentration supports a dedicated review of the examiner’s pending cases, while the wider portfolio calls for consistent claim strategy, centralized tracking, and art-unit-specific coordination.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 only | 7 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 15 (23%) |
| §103 only | 12 (18%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (31%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
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.
