Doosan Bobcat North America Inc. has 11 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company interacts with 11 distinct examiners, meaning the number of pending actions is equal to the number of individuals assigned. These matters are spread across 5 distinct art units, reflecting the varied technical scope of their mechanical and transportation systems.
HEFLIN, HARRISON JAMES RIEL is the busiest examiner for this portfolio with 1 pending action. Because the busiest examiner only manages 1 action, the prosecution load is perfectly distributed across the distinct examiners. This lack of concentration across the 5 distinct art units suggests that the company's legal strategy must account for diverse examiner preferences and art unit specificities. The 11 pending office actions represent the current volume of the portfolio's examination phase. Practitioners should be prepared for different sets of examiner feedback across these 5 distinct 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (36%) |
| §102 only | 2 (18%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (36%) |
