Dtech Precision Industries Co. Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating a broad distribution of prosecution across technical assignments.
SAETHER, FLEMMING is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending office actions. The examiner concentration is limited to part of the portfolio, so counsel should coordinate overall claim strategy while tracking examiner-specific issues and art-unit practices.
The difference between the number of office actions and distinct examiners means at least one examiner handles multiple pending matters. That structure makes docket coordination important, particularly when amendments or arguments could affect related transportation or mechanical-system applications.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 5 (83%) |
