66 pending office actions • 15 art units • 54 examiners • 0 of 66 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 71 patents granted in the last 365 days
DexCom Inc. maintains a substantial portfolio with 65 pending office actions focused in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed among 53 distinct examiners, which indicates that some examiners are handling multiple applications for the company. This level of examiner overlap can allow for more consistent prosecution strategies across related filings, as practitioners can leverage insights gained from one application when negotiating others with the same individual among the 53 examiners.
The company's pending matters are spread across 15 distinct art units, showing significant technical diversity within its primary technology sector. JANG, CHRISTIAN Y is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 5 pending office actions. This concentration of 5 actions under one examiner makes JANG, CHRISTIAN Y a key figure in the company's current prosecution efforts. Managing this relationship effectively is crucial, as the outcomes of these cases will have a notable impact on the portfolio's immediate success across the 15 art units and 65 total actions involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 20 (30%) |
| §103 only | 10 (15%) |
| §102 only | 3 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 5 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (26%) |
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.
