Dy Auto Corporation has 5 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Those matters involve 5 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units, showing examiner coverage that is broader than the art-unit distribution.
KARLS, SHAY LYNN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The portfolio calls for matter-specific review rather than a single examiner strategy, although recurring issues within the shared art-unit structure may still support coordinated claim and response planning.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
