DK Crown Holdings Inc. has 19 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 19 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units. TRUONG, CAM Y T is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 pending office action. The fact that 19 distinct examiners are handling the 19 pending actions means each case is assigned to a different individual.
The use of 7 distinct art units suggests a range of technical focuses within the medical device field. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is distributed among all 19 involved examiners. This decentralized approach across 7 art units and 19 examiners suggests that the company's technology is being evaluated across the technical expertise of the patent office. TRUONG, CAM Y T is one of the 19 distinct examiners handling the pending office actions. Managing 19 pending actions with 19 different examiners requires a strategy that accounts for many individual examination styles. The presence of 7 distinct art units indicates that the company's filings are reviewed by multiple technical sections.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| 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%) |
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.
