DK Crown Holdings Inc. has 19 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Each action is assigned to a distinct examiner, while the portfolio spans 9 distinct art units. The data indicates broad examiner dispersion and greater repetition within technical classifications, making art-unit organization a practical way to coordinate prosecution work.
MASTERS, KRISTEN MICHELLE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner-level cluster stands out, so counsel should prioritize matter-specific review rather than a concentrated examiner strategy. Shared device issues may be more efficiently managed through technical grouping across the art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 10 (53%) |
| §103 only | 4 (21%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (11%) |
