Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH has 25 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are handled by 22 examiners across 14 art units, showing a docket with broad examiner coverage and a narrower set of technical groups.
FRENCH, CORRELL T is the busiest identified examiner, with 3 pending matters. That concentration gives counsel a defined examiner cluster to monitor, while the broader distribution still calls for matter-level review of claim amendments and response timing.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (20%) |
| §103 only | 8 (32%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (32%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
