Dorco Co., Ltd. has 18 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 7 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing strong concentration in both technical grouping and examiner assignment. This structure creates a substantial basis for comparing prosecution treatment across related matters.
KEENA, ELLA LORRAINE is the busiest examiner, with 6 pending matters. That examiner is the clearest operational focus in the recorded docket. Counsel may review those matters together for recurring positions and response patterns, while coordinating the remaining cases within the same limited art-unit structure.
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 | 7 (39%) |
